If our people used their own consumer spending power and resources to build the original Black Wall Street of Tulsa with just 35 city blocks, we are certain that 90 years later the Black community can do it again by designating city blocks where we will again use our consumer spending power and resources to create Black Wall Street businesses, institutions and jobs in majority Black communities across the United States and the world.
