EPISODE 2: Black Businesses and Marvel’s Black Panther Movie
As economic, political and social conditions for Black people seem to remain stagnant in the U.S., the “Buy Black” movement hopes to reverse our societal status.

In our second segment, we examine the profitability in the rise of Black consciousness and representation.
