What are the gaps?

Gaps are the seemingly insurmountable differences between poverty and privilege. They are measured treatments and outcomes between demographic groups on school disciplinary charges, standardized test scores, and rates of incarceration. Gaps can be seen in access to healthcare, the amount of financial reserves a family has saved, the number of books in a home, and words that a child hears by age three. Gaps are subtle, like the availability of public transportation and childcare for working parents, and they are obvious, like segregated housing and schools. Gaps are everywhere and primarily fall along racial and class lines.
