The Myth & Propaganda of Black Buying Power with Dr. Jared Ball | Black Men Build Mass Call #29

Black Men Build's last Mass Call of the year "The Myth & Propaganda of Black Buying Power" featuring Dr. Jared Ball. This discussion will be centered on the 2nd Edition of his prolific book “The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power." It is often said in the Black community how far Black folks could go if we put our money together. We have heard from politicians, Black media outlets, celebrities and folks in our families that Black people have an estimated $1.2 trillion in buying power. It is even sometimes mentioned how Black people could impact the economy if we simply re-strategize our spending habits. With the holidays upon us, Black Men Build has curated a discussion to help us navigate the validity of these ideas. Dr. Ball is the co-founder of Black Power Media and the Professor of Communications and Africana Studies at Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD. His decades of emancipatory journalism, media, writing, and political work can be found at imixwhatilike.org.
