Good afternoon,

Source of the Week is back with a new expert! This week we have Fenaba Addo, an associate professor of public policy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Addo’s research looks at the causes and consequences of debt and wealth inequality in the contexts of higher education, family and relationships. She can answer your questions about student debt, the Black middle class, and the Millennial wealth gap — the difference between the assets and savings held by Boomers and those held by Millennials. 

Other sources of interest this week.

So far in 2023, there have been 81 mass shootings, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
