(WOODLAWN, MD – June 4, 2026) — Black Wall Street WOODLAWN will take place this evening, Thursday, June 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. at SHURA, located at 6665 Security Blvd. in Woodlawn.
Now in its 15th year, the Black Wall Street series has honored more than 3,000 entrepreneurs, professionals, community leaders, and changemakers across nine cities. The initiative celebrates Black entrepreneurship while recognizing the individuals, organizations, and institutions that support economic empowerment and community development.
Founded by BMORENews.com Publisher Doni Glover in 2011, Black Wall Street was created to inspire entrepreneurship, strengthen community connections, and highlight the remarkable achievements taking place in our neighborhoods every day.
Black Americans command an estimated $2 trillion in annual buying power, representing one of the most significant consumer markets in the world. Black Wall Street serves as a reminder that economic empowerment begins with awareness, relationships, and intentional support of businesses and professionals who invest in our communities. Through recognition, networking, and storytelling, the series helps connect entrepreneurs with customers, resources, and opportunities for growth.
Special thanks to New Life Recovery Center, R.E. Harrington, Fulton Bank, Thomas Hardnett, Sanjay Thomas Allstate Insurance, and Baltimore County Councilman Julian Jones for their support of this evening’s program.
