Overview

The Commission is comprised of leaders from the business community and historic institutions. They will establish a feedback loop that is rooted in the Black community and unfiltered through the lenses of non-Black people. The scope of the African American Commission on Economic Inclusion extends well beyond the topic of recovery and is centered on economic inclusion, wealth creation, and implementation of precise solutions to the historic economic harms inflicted upon the community.
