What’s the Problem?
4%
Black Americans control only 4% of the nation's wealth despite making up 13-14% of the population
50%
Most Black neighborhoods exceed national poverty rates and experience over 50% more violent crime
19.5%
19.5% of all Black Americans live in poverty
38%
More than one in four Black children lives in poverty, over double the rate for non-hispanic children
According to data from Pew Research and the U.S. Census Bureau
Poverty → Crime + Violence
Economic Empowerment → Stable Communities + Sustainable Progress
"At BLAC, we believe in the transformative power of cultural empowerment and financial stability. There is not a lack of talent or intellect in Black communities, but a lack of self-assuredness and access to resources. Having empowered hundreds through symposiums, BLAC is poised to lead in DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion)."
- Founder of BLAC, TJ Harris
