"This is the only way to affect social change that African Americans are dying to see. Last year we talked about the importance of rebuilding Black Wall Street. But this year is exceptional because we are shifting the conversation to bigger and better strategies to mobilize the Black Dollar and will be putting action behind it. We are also coming with a bigger venue and more vendor"- said Event Organizer and Founder of Financial Literacy Institute, Jasmine Young

The calamitous massacre was a targeted act toward a thriving black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma from May 31st to June 1, 1921. The Black Wall Street Business Expo will pay homage to African American heritage, facilitate a discussion on using cooperative economics to affect social change for the African American community, and highlight the excellence of African Americans exemplified through the development of Black Wall Street. V-103's on-air personality Liz Smith will be kicking off the 2nd Annual Black Wall Street Business expo's signature red carpet experience. Following the kickoff, each attendee will enjoy shopping from local black-owned businesses, food, and entertainment for all ages to enjoy!

This year Black Wall Street Black Business Expo has also partnered with Friends of The Movement (FOTM) Global, a social FinTech company led by multiracial and multi-generations, to do a significant reveal of a mechanism that can help us actively rebuild Black Wall Street.
