The U.S. Black Chambers is reaching news heights and making a bigger impact in the Black entrepreneurship community.

In the wake of Charlottesville and innumerable attacks on Black Americans and the Black economy, we urge our membership to aggressively take economic action by first moving your money to a Black-owned bank, this sends a red-flag to the economy that we are willing and able to shift our money en masse.

As the voice of Black business owners, we are tasked with advocating for and representing America's Black business owners. Our motto is: In order for there to be a strong America, there must be a strong Black America, and in order for there to be a strong Black America, there must be strong Black businesses.

Thank you to our invaluable conference attendees, sponsors, partners, family and friends for making our 7th annual School of Chamber & Business Management Conference (SCBM) the best yet.

Just as we were reviewing results of the USBC's extremely successful Bank-Black initiative, we received word that Chicago's Seaway National Bank had been purchased by the State Bank of Texas.
