If you’re looking for a powerful Black Wall Street book on economic empowerment, Black to the Future: Lessons from Black Wall Street for Community and Economic Prosperity belongs on your shelf. And now, it’s landed on one of the most meaningful shelves of all: inside Black Wall Street Bodega on historic Greenwood Avenue in Tulsa. This placement isn’t just symbolic—it’s a return to sacred ground, where legacy meets leadership and community wealth-building takes root.
This moment marks a full-circle journey. In December 2020, Table SALT Group received a grant from the 400 Years of African American History Commission to contribute to a national project entitled Writing a New History. The vision: to uplift the untold stories, enduring brilliance, and transformative contributions of Black communities in America.
Out of that opportunity, Black to the Future: Lessons from Black Wall Street for Community and Economic Prosperity was born.
We wrote the book with a sense of urgency—but also with deep love. Love for a legacy inherited, and for the future still building. We wrote it for every ancestor who owned land but not a trust. For every parent who ran a hustle but couldn’t access an LLC. For every community rich in culture, but starved of capital.
Why This Book Isn’t Just a Read—It’s a Roadmap
Systemic barriers have ignored and buried too many visionary entrepreneurs under endless red tape. Black to the Future is our answer to that. This book is a simple roadmap rooted in reality and a reimagined blueprint for prosperity that honors memory while equipping movement.
And now, that roadmap has found its first brick-and-mortar home—on sacred ground.
This isn’t just history—it’s strategy. And it’s more than a book. We designed this Black Wall Street book on economic empowerment to give readers a real-world roadmap for sustainable legacy, community wealth-building, and policy-rooted change.
