Booker T. Washington, (first President) of Tuskegee Institute (University) was a staunch supporter of entrepreneurship and other economic growth among African-Americans. He was founder of the National Negro Business League in 1900 after seeing a need for African-Americans to build an economic network and allow that to be a catalyst for change and social improvement.
Today, the Summit, adheres to the historical and philosophical perspectives of Washington and focuses on entrepreneurship and business development as a means for African-Americans and other people of color to obtain economic and political parity. It targets individuals, organizations and institutions for empowerment through knowledge acquisition and networking for entrepreneurship as key ingredients to a whole-community approach to economic development.
The 13th annual summit will take place November 19-21, 2008 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Speakers include Dr. Farrah Gray, Dr. Randal Pinkett, Dante Lee, and others.
