AEA Continues to Silence Black Women

August 23, 2024April 29, 2022 by Paul

When the American Economic Association honored Sadie Alexander this week they did so because of Professor Nina Banks’s important research which uncovered Sadie Alexander’s writings and speeches. The AEA did so by not citing and plagiarizing her research. That the AEA honors its own tradition as economists as servants of power instead of economics as serving humanity it is only appropriate that they honor a silenced Black woman economist by silencing a current Black woman economist. Below is a letter by Nina Banks discussing what the AEA did and included is also a video of Nina Banks talking about Sadie Alexander at John Jay College in 2015.
