The Black Wall Street of Baltimore
A group of Black entrepreneurs have rallied together to call 25th Street in North Baltimore, Maryland a new name: “The Black Wall Street of Baltimore.” One of the collaborators include the founder of the non-profit Notre Maison Connects, Jacqueline Cummings, who owns several buildings along the street. Previously, Cummings said she wanted to invite more Black-owned businesses in the community to join her and other Black business owners. The street boasts several Black-owned businesses including a clothing store called Waaah attached to a barbershop, a library, a hair salon, a soul food joint called Taste This, a unisex clothing brand store and a restaurant.
Additionally, education is just once incentive to encourage generational wealth. Business owners are welcomed to teach 18 to 21 years olds about entrepreneurship.
