Description: 

Finds that after five decades of progress in building a middle class, creating a safety net, and erecting legal protections against official segregation and overt exclusion of marginalized groups, opportunity in the United States is at risk. Clear charts and data measure progress along six interrelated dimensions: mobility, equality, participation in democracy, redemption/ rehabilitation, community, and security.
