For the past few weeks, we have talked about Dr. Claude Anderson’s powerful books, Black Labor, White Wealth and PowerNomics.

Unity=Power
“Our Unity, Our Power: Building Stronger Black Communities Together” When we look at the success stories of other cultures, one thing stands out: unity. They pool resources, share knowledge, and work as a collective to achieve financial stability and strong communities.
