While it has been more than fifty years since Martin Luther King, Jr., argued, “our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality,” issues of economic empowerment are often neglected in today’s conversations on race.
This two-day gathering will explore both the historical and contemporary issues related to economic empowerment, such as: entrepreneurship, wealth-building, racial capitalism, self-determination, and innovation. By placing all of these issues into the unique context of Austin, Texas, we hope to promote a healthy exchange of ideas that ultimately lead toward solutions.
