How can African Americans expand their power and influence?
Melvin M. Coleman: Black Economic Empowerment through Ownership and Control —
Since the development of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, African Americans have primarily served as a source of labor in the American and global economy. This has limited the ability of African Americans to build wealth, which leads to power and influence. Listen to the conversation as Ramona talks to Melvin Coleman about the need for African Americans to move beyond being employees and consumers to being owners of businesses and industries. Melvin M. Colman is President of the Atlanta Black Chambers and the founder and chief portfolio strategist of Essential Wealth Management, a registered investment advisory firm based in the Atlanta area. A US Navy veteran, Melvin is originally from Savannah, Georgia, and now makes Atlanta his home. -

Challenging “The Mis-Education” of African Americans
It was so refreshing to hear a Professor speak on the importance of teachers, teaching!! Classes about the African American experience, I believe should be taught in elementary school through college. These courses should be taught by African American teachers who can relate to our history and how it has affected their families. So , the first step to correcting the mis-education of African Americans , should be the hiring of more African American teachers. Professor Baskin is a former teacher of mine and I appreciate him being as he stated, “Old Fashion.” He expects and encourages his students to think. He refuses to lower his expectations for anyone and for that I am forever thankful.
