WHAT: 
The time for action on Black Wealth is now! NAREB is working with the African American Mayors Association, National Bar Association and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to present the Charlotte stop on the Building Black Wealth Tour. In more than 100 cities, NAREB will organize classes, workshops, and one-on-one counseling with lawyers, agents/brokers, and lenders. Experts will advise families on homebuying, investing, careers in real estate, and what to do with Big Mama's House. Why is this needed? The Black-White wealth gap is so expansive that the 400 wealthiest Americans control the same amount of wealth as the 48 million Blacks living in the U.S. There are 2 million mortgage-ready Black Americans, who don't yet own houses. At the Charlotte event, sessions will include:
