"What will it take for Black people to have self-sustaining economies?"


  

          

I work with a couple of NOI people, and this is what they've been saying since the start. Garvey before them. Asian-Americans and Latino/as in some cities own most of the businesses in their communities.

What will it take for Black people to do the same, at a large scale, for the long haul?

No quips about saving money on shoes and weave hair. REAL tangible actions.
