  • Two Black Wall Street investors are trying to inspire the next generations to get educated and build generational wealth. Both from unique backgrounds, one was raised by his grandmother in a small Florida town while the other was raised in Chicago by his lawyer mother and former Tuskegee Airman father. This week on AMERICA IN BLACK, CBS News Correspondent Vlad Duthiers sits down with Eddie C. Brown and John Rogers to discuss their goals to leave a path to long term wealth for Black americans. #BET #AmericaInBlackBET #BlackWealth

      Its positive for him.but its not impacting his generation or the x generation of black men.Because they always been unfortunately risk adversed.And thats why poverty networth is a serious problem widespread amongest them.They just didnt believed in the stockmarket investing.I never heard anybody in my family speak about it or in my neighborhood.But being a outlier i always been curious about it so i pursued early on.
