(UPPER MARLBORO – April 9, 2023) – In 2011, BMORENews.com created the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Award where we celebrate Black entrepreneurs and professionals as well as the people who support them regardless of race. To date, we have honored over 2,000 individuals in New York, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Richmond, Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham, Las Vegas, and Tulsa.
Our aim is to help preserve little-known Black Wall Street history nationally and to inspire entrepreneurship, beginning in the Black community. We know that the stronger these businesses become, the better able they are to hire people from our community.
This has been a monumental task, and the rewards are powerful. Considering that Black America has $1.6 trillion in annual disposable income, we already have the power to transform our own trajectory.
Black Wall Street PRINCE GEORGE’S is set for Wed., April 26, 2023, from 6 to 8 pm at Olde Towne Inn in Upper Marlboro.
