Forward Cities Inc

The black wall street forward pilot program launched in 2022 and was modeled on the pillars that made durham's original black wall street successful, with the goal of continuing the legacy of catalyzing black business owners and champions. The transformative program engaged five communities throughout the state of north carolina in a cohort-based learning journey to explore the past and present of black entrepreneurship in those communities and to take collaborative action to build a better collective future.
