Silver Rights, The Next Chapter in Legacy Building

In the broader discussion of civil rights, there is an often overlooked but critically important concept known as Silver Rights. This idea, brought to the forefront by esteemed author and public speaker John Hope Bryant, highlights a crucial evolution in the civil rights narrative—focusing on economic empowerment. Silver Rights is not just for American minorities but exists for anyone historically excluded from accessing the capital required to expand and enhance their business ventures. At the Dream Exchange, fostering economic growth and facilitating the creation of widespread, generational wealth is at the core of our mission. We are dedicated to democratizing the ownership and control of public companies, breaking down barriers that have, for too long, kept this potential in the hands of the few. Curious to learn more? We cordially invite you to our next webinar,

Dream Exchange Unveiled: Unlocking Capital and Empowering Entrepreneurs scheduled for April 9, 2024, at 4 PM EST. This session will deep-dive into essential legislation aimed at making Wall Street more accessible, fostering a stronger, more fair financial landscape.

WIT U Looks To
Provide Black Scholars With
Free Options For
Engineering Education!

We are losing Black talent in engineering, and last summer’s affirmative action ruling dealt a further blow to that already dwindling pipeline. A fast-moving dynamic profession needs equally agile educational preparation.

At The Wade Institute of Technology (WIT), we have a solution. Who are we? A new Palo Alto-based engineering college focused on mitigating the acute underrepresentation of African Americans and students of African descent in STEM professions through scholarships and unique educational programs.

We’re seeking applicants for our Master’s in Engineering Management, a 24-month, tuition-free program for Black students with undergraduate degrees in a STEM discipline OR in the liberal arts. This unique program provides background in core engineering areas as well as leadership principles for those who want broad-based management and leadership positions rather than technologist roles. Program and application details can be found here.

As an institution dedicated to providing an education that combines rigorous academic study with the excitement of experiential discovery, we are also proud to provide a small and close-knit community where Black students can be themselves, know they’re valued, and supported in learning from their mistakes and from each other.

I thank you in advance for helping us democratize and diversify higher education and professional opportunities by sharing this program information within your community.

Regards,

 

Lorna Jones

New York Takes Historic Step: Reparations Commission Announced

New York, NY – Today, Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Speaker Carl Heastie announced the appointment of nine distinguished individuals to serve on the New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies.

The Commission, established through legislation signed by Governor Hochul in December 2023, is tasked with examining the legacy of slavery and its lingering negative effects on people currently living in the State of New York, with the goal of issuing issue a report comprised of recommendations for appropriate action to address these longstanding inequities. This written report of findings and recommendations must be submitted to the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority leaders of the senate and the assembly, and the Governor of the State of New York no later than one year after the date of the first meeting of the commission.

New York is now the second state after California to launch such a body with the selected commissioners with the necessary expertise, experience, and values for giving New Yorkers a transformative roadmap for righting the wrongs of injustice in our state from its foundation.
