Futurist Intellectual Think Tank - a equity opportunity?

William E. B. Du Bois, an African American futurist, said: “The problem of the twentieth century will be the problem of the color line.” Unfortunately, as the lines of racial and ethnic diversity expand, redlining expands as well.

The University of Texas at Austion, provides a good conceptual picture for a Black Futurist Intellectual Think Tank,  but very little regarding the performance, outcomes or benefits. Basically,, each year a Black Futurist Intellectual Think Tank forum allegely convene at the University of Texas Center for Black Business History, Entrepreneurship and Technology but no progress reports are provided. Should more be done and provided publically to assure more inclusionary practices in futurist activities?
