The National Business League (NBL) has launched the Black Economic Freedom Movement, a bold initiative aiming to digitize 1 million Black Business Enterprises (BBEs)® by 2028. This movement seeks to establish a global, technology-driven network that fosters economic independence and generational wealth for Black communities worldwide. A key component is the National Black Supplier Development Program, which has already secured $150 million in corporate contracts over three years, facilitating direct alliances with Fortune 500 companies and global trade networks.
The momentum of this initiative will culminate at the 125th National Black Business Conference, hosted by the National Alliance for Black Business from August 17–23, 2025, at the Hilton Atlanta Hotel in Atlanta. This historic gathering is expected to convene over 5,000 prominent business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, solidifying the movement’s impact on the future of Black economic empowerment.
