(WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 29, 2024) – Today’s Black Wall Street Awards by BMORENews.com at Howard University was nothing short of magical. To have the Dean of the School of Business, the Dean Emeritus, and the White House Director of Black Media all under the same roof at the same time is simply amazing. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The purpose of the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards is to celebrate Black entrepreneurs and professionals as well as the people who support them regardless of race. To date, BMORENews.com and its partners have recognized over 2,500 Black entrepreneurs and professionals as well as the people who support them regardless of race in 9 US cities since 2011. The goal is to encourage entrepreneurship beginning in the Black community and to help preserve little-known Black Wall Street history nationally.
