President of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies; expert on the racial wealth divide
To bridge growing wealth inequality, that is the lead cause of ongoing racial inequality, we need to embrace the original structure of Baby Bonds and broader structural reforms that move resources toward families who have been locked out of wealth for generations.AI Verified source (2026)

The exact sentence appears verbatim on the cited Joint Center op-ed, published February 4, 2026. That page credits the piece to LaToya B. Parker and Dedrick Asante Muhammad, and the same text also appears on Dedrick Asante-Muhammad’s Medium repost. So the quote is real and attributable to Dedrick Asante-Muhammad as a co-author, though the piece is not solely authored by him.

Quote attributed to Dedrick Asante-Muhammad (President, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies): "To bridge growing wealth inequality, that is the lead cause of ongoing racial inequality, we need to embrace the original structure of Baby Bonds and broader structural reforms that move resources toward families who have been locked out of wealth for generations." Year 2026 (op-ed published Feb 2026). Vote "for" on statement "Introduce a universal basic wealth system that grants individuals a capital endowment at birth" aligns correctly — Baby Bonds are precisely a capital endowment at birth. The source_url (jointcenter.org, the author's own organization, a legitimate primary source) returned HTTP 403, as did multiple republishing mirrors (Washington Informer, WordPress). Web search returned the closing statement of the op-ed nearly verbatim, strongly corroborating accuracy and attribution. Marking ai_unverifiable only because all source pages block automated fetching.
