In February 2011 with the back drop of Black History Month we convened the first SOBS. After a full analysis of the above mentioned statistics we gathered Business Leaders, Community leaders, Education Advocates, Elected Officials and Clergymen to discuss the challenges facing the Black Community. As a result SOBS 2011 was created with (3) panel discussions at historic Booker T. Washington High Sc
hool. These panel discussions were as follows:
(1) Religious/Community Groups: “How does the modern day Church and Civil Rights Organizations transform to meet the Challenges of current Black America”? (2) Education Advocates: “What education reforms will benefit our children in Black America”? (3) Business and Political Leaders: “How does business and government works collectively to create wealth and opportunity in Black America”?
