Wall Street has tried to make up for systematically leaving minorities out of leadership positions with diversity pledges and programs, especially in the last few months. But being Black on Wall Street often means being the only person of color in the room, according to Bloomberg Markets magazine's oral history of the Black experience in finance.

Black business leaders have carved out their own space in finance and other industries, but face challenges outside of Wall Street, too. Half of Black-owned banks in the U.S. disappeared in the last two decades. The #BankBlack movement aims to reverse that trend, with rapper and activist Killer Mike leading the charge.

Sustenance for restaurants and residentsWith the Covid-19 pandemic shuttering many small businesses, an all-star team joined forces in Newark, New Jersey, to both help struggling restaurants and feed vulnerable residents. Newark Working Kitchens, started by audiobook maker Audible Inc., chef Marcus Samuelsson and chef Jose Andres's World Central Kitchen, is paying local restaurants to make meals for residents and front-line workers. Famous donors, like actor Michael B. Jordan, and organizations like Twitter Inc. and Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation have helped raise enough money to keep the program going indefinitely. |
