Join The Movement
This Black Wall Street Movement is about God, our ancestors and future generations.
Our founder and National President, Dr. Michael Carter, Sr. established Black Wall Street USA in 1998. The mission is to establish Black Wall Street Districts around the globe in the Spirit of the original Black Wall Street District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Black Wall Street Districts are urban areas comprised of thriving centers of businesses, community, and culture and include one or more commercial strips containing 50%-70% or more businesses owned by African Americans. Our District Chairman and State Director, Derwin A Whitmore, MBA established Black Wall Street Nevada, in 2013. The mission of Black Wall Street Nevada is to lead the economic empowerment movement for the state of Nevada, through education, community outreach, and the establishment of the Black Wall Street Nevada district.

A once thriving, economic self-sufficient community, where African Americans lived, worked and recreated, like so many other Black communities became the victim of social and economic inequality.
