NBCI Mission Statement Concerning Personal and Business Finance
Over the past eight years the Black community has experienced what amounts to an economic tsunami. Billions of dollars have left the Black community through the foreclosure crisis, the devaluing of existing homes owned by African Americans, the devaluing of African American retirement plans and 401Ks and the loss of employment and business opportunities. We will focus our energy on learning how to build wealth and manage it. We will provide actionable information on municipal bonds, stocks, savings, currency investment, insurance and other wealth building tools.- 34,000 Black Churches of NBCI Have Asked The Federal Trade Commission and The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau To Investigate The Airlines, Hotels and Car Rental Point System.pdf [121kb]
