President Biden Salutes NAREB Building Black Wealth Tour
Presented in collaboration with the Church Of God in Christ, Inc., the local National Building Black Wealth Day events were a component of NAREB’s Building Black Wealth Tour, which holds events in cities nationwide.
Other NAREB partners for the Building Black Wealth tour include the African American Mayors Association, the National Bar Association, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity.
Major sponsors include Wells Fargo and Fannie Mae. The HUD-approved NID Housing Counseling Agency provided free credit reports at the events and continues to counsel registrants online.
Tiffany Thrower attended the Mount Vernon event and showed her appreciation.
“Wow, what did I experience today?” Thrower exclaimed in an interview at the event. “Today was a very informative day. It was a day of enlightenment. I learned so much about things that are often hidden in plain sight. This particular event shared a lot of information on Black wealth, becoming a homeowner, and what to do if you own a home. I’m in information overload. If the opportunity ever comes in your area, you have to attend an event like this. I feel like, especially with people of Black and Brown communities, a lot of information they don’t get because they don’t come to events like this. This was very empowering and is actually going to make me a better person when I leave, and I’m very happy about it.”
