How Can An Elected Official Remove Institutionalized Racism?

Chicagoans were treated to another visit by a Presidential Candidate last night, Senator Bernie Sanders, who addressed a packed house at Chicago State University, one of the State educational institutions  being threatened with closing down because the current Governor, Bruce Rauner, is at a stalemate with the State Legislature regarding the approval of a State Budget. It is significant that the educational institutions in the African American and Latino communities are the ones left unfunded, while schools in more affluent white communities appear to rest on solid economic foundations. Senator Sanders pledged that, if elected, he would remove "Institutionalized racism", meaning the racism that is ingrained in the system and deliberately maintains racial inequality by enforcing economic injustice. Can an elected oficial remove institutionalized racism? How could they do it? Would it require dismantling the very economic foundation of the nation - which was built on slave labor and continues to be maintained by a thriving prison system that provides near - slave labor? How can America truly be made a fair, equal and honest nation which serves the needs of all of its citizens without racial bias toward a priviledged few?
