NEW BLACK WALL STREETS ACROSS AMERICA (NBWSAA): MISSION

Our mission is to advance Black American economic restoration through organized spending, support for Black-owned businesses, ownership, financial education, homeownership preparation, local organizing, leadership development, responsible community development, and intergenerational wealth building.

We are building a permanent public home that connects people, businesses, organizations, and institutions around practical pathways to learn, connect, and build. The organization is currently in its foundation-building stage, with governance, partnerships, programs, and local organizing systems being developed responsibly.

Available now: explore our current public resources or compare membership learning packages and benefits. Paid membership enrollment remains closed; recording interest collects no payment and activates no paid benefits.

OUR GOALS

Our goals turn the mission into clear areas of work. Each goal will grow only as responsible governance, qualified partners, funding, and organizational capacity are established.

STRENGTHEN ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION

Encourage organized spending, stronger support for Black-owned businesses, entrepreneurship, financial education, workforce pathways, ownership, and homeownership readiness.

CONNECT LOCAL ACTION TO A NATIONAL VISION

Help builders identify community priorities, map local assets, develop responsible plans, share useful tools, and connect lessons across cities and states while respecting independent local leadership.

EARL HUGHES

Vice President

Earl Hughes brings more than four decades of experience in military communications, advanced electronics, and telecommunications. During 22 years as a Navy Communicator, he worked with mission-critical networks, tactical systems, and secure information channels. He then spent 20 years as an electronics engineer in the telecommunications industry, working with complex systems and communications technology.

That background brings a practical understanding of dependable systems and careful coordination to NBWSAA’s foundation-building stage. Earl has also supported the movement by sharing its public posts. His experience and steady support are part of the work of building a sound foundation for what comes next.

We do not want to be remembered as people who only talked about what our communities needed. We want to be known for coming together, organizing with purpose, and doing the serious work of building the institutions our communities deserve.
