In this highly acclaimed book, The Black Tax, Shawn Rochester shows how The Black Tax (which is the financial cost of conscious and unconscious anti-black discrimination), creates a massive financial burden on Black American households that dramatically reduces their ability to leave a substantial legacy for future generations. Los Angeles Black Professionals is honored to host Mr. Rochester for a presentation & discussion about The Black Tax and what can be done about it. Mr. Rochester will deliver the following:

• Explain the concept of The Black Tax in a paradigm shifting, data-driven, and fact-based manner.

• Quantify the historical cost of discrimination against Black people in America and explain how that led to Black people owning only about 2% of US wealth.

• Introduce a new economic framework to help create the millions of jobs and businesses that are missing in the Black community.

We invite you to join this discussion as Mr. Rochester shares his transformative insight.
