Let's galvanize behind a community effort to grow the black business class

By Bob Dickerson
| Birmingham Business Journal Verified
If we close Birmingham's racial wealth gap we all benefit. If you're black and you're reading this, then you know exactly what I mean by the racial wealth gap. If you're white, there's a chance that you might not realize and worse, might not have ever focused on the problems that this gaping disparity causes. Perhaps you also haven't considered whether there is any benefit to you to closing it. I hope I begin to change your mind.

| The New York Times Verified
I think that few of us consider the impact of our daily activities on the final accounting anyone might render at the time of our death. Because I have had cancer for more than 15 years now, I have had a lot of time to think about this. I actually think I got this cancer 35 years ago. It grows slowly, but it did take me to the hospital from time to time. And in September of 1999, I had my first CT scan, which gave me a confirmed diagnosis.
