In historic fashion, due to the severe and dire economic circumstances of Black businesses, the three leading and historic black business organizations have banded together to form the Detroit United Front. The National Business League, the Detroit Black Chamber of Commerce and the Booker T. Washington Trade Association are uniting to act against systemic, institutional, and structural inequality in the city of Detroit.
Keynote Speaker
Founder and CEO, Boyce Watkins Enterprises
The National Business League Detroit Chapter is the official organization of the national body in the city of Detroit. Historically, the NBL Detroit Chapter, serves as the programmatic, advocacy and platform arm of the National Negro Business League, now known as the National Business League, which was founded on August 23, 1900, by the legendary Booker T. Washington. The NBL Detroit is also the Midwest Regional Office of the National Business League, representing numerous chapters in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The Detroit Black Chamber of Commerce was established in December 2000 to position Black-owned businesses for economic opportunities in Detroit. The Detroit Black Chamber of Commerce merged with the Michigan Black Chamber of Commerce in 2009 as part of a statewide reorganization.
