Margarita Anderson and her family were featured in national headlines as they lived exclusively off Black businesses, professionals and products for an entire year. Her stand, chronicled in her book, “Our Black Year,” was called The Empowerment Experiment. Now, she tours the country to increase awareness about economic inequalities that starve Black neighborhoods and deny Black businesses, and how proactive support of these businesses can create jobs and curb crime in America.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Who's fault is it? It's not injustice it's Blacks that don't care to own anything! They have no desire to save and invest,they use up their money,they blow it! Everyone else is responsible?

Jacqueline Robinson says:

2014-2017 has anything improved?

Martinez Williams says:

Wow . I love this . I've heard many of lectures and speeches about black economic empowerment . But this one really struck a cord with me .

Economic injustice or something else? The idea that we are not responsible for our lives is not useful.

Why are Cuban so successful?
These people come in multicolor and seem to prosper. You can drop these people in a hardcore ghetto and they become Scarface, or crawl out and become wealthy business people. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?!?!
