There are cities and towns in America where Black people are thriving.
Take Atlanta, for example. According to reports, Atlanta is home to more than 11,000 Black millionaires.
Black Atlanteans are eating in restaurants they own, conducting business together, buying real estate from each other, and closing all kinds of deals within their own networks. One brother in real estate estimates that 95% of his business is conducted with other Black people.
Prince George’s County, Maryland, is another locale — home to one of the wealthiest enclaves of Black people in the country. Million-dollar homes owned by Black families sit side by side, supported by a network of Black-owned vendors and service providers.

So how can Black people create similar wealth-building groundswell in cities where they have a strong presence? Here are some strategies:- Start investment clubs with like-minded Black entrepreneurs.
- Support Black entrepreneurs in your city who are building businesses and employing local residents.
- Bank Black where possible, or use financial institutions offering products and loans tailored for Black communities.
- Engage elected officials — meet with Black mayors, state representatives, and senators to discuss economic resources and opportunities.
- Partner with Black Chambers of Commerce and business incubators to launch new initiatives.
- Empower the Black Church. As the strongest economic institution in nearly every Black community, pastors and congregants can and should play a vital role in wealth-building initiatives.
In this time of challenge and uncertainty, there’s proof that when Black communities stick together, work together, and support one another, they can not only survive — but thrive. The examples in these cities and towns show us the way. Let’s replicate their success everywhere!
