The name morphed into the Black Wall Street Awards and we also added in the name of the man who made it possible - the late Joe Manns. He was a business owner who sincerely gave back to the community in a tremendous way - a way in which anybody would be proud - regardless of race, religion, upbringing, and the like.To date,we have recognized over 1,900 individuals from 9 US citieswithJoe Manns Black Wall Street Awards.
