The economic power of black men plays a significant role in shaping black communities. Black men, being the primary breadwinners in these communities, are responsible for the upward mobility of their families. Any barrier to their financial success is a factor that directly affects the health of the community. By removing the obstacles that impede their success, black neighborhoods would become a better place to live.
Closing the income gap will solve the intergenerational problem of wealth generation. Black Men Matter is a non-profit organization whose mission is to implement entrepreneurial programs and schemes to encourage black men to invest in themselves and make more positive choices in life. Funding from local government and private donors would help further their goal of making black communities a decent place to live.
