Excerpts from article:
..."As someone who has been very lucky in life, I often say my story would only have been possible in America, and that's true," Bloomberg is expected to say, according to a copy of his prepared remarks.
..."But I also know that my story might have turned out very differently if I had been black, and that more black Americans of my generation would have ended up with far more wealth, had they been white."
...Bloomberg will give his speech in the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Okla., which was once known at "Black Wall Street" and was home to more than 300 African American-owned businesses.
...Bloomberg will highlight how the massacre in Tulsa "Demonstrates in incredibly stark relief, the violent destruction of a prosperous black community, and the enormous obstacles that so many black Americans have faced" in creating wealth and passing down assets "As generations of white families have done," according to the prepared remarks.
