NOIREPACK INC.b y E d w a r d M c F i e l d sThese trials have demonstrated how vulnerable andeconomically marginalized Black communities can be whenpresented with these kinds of events. Fortunately, there is hope!One way to combat some of these social conditions andinjustices placed upon our communities is through economicsbut, most importantly, cooperative economics or "Ujamaa,"building individual Black businesses and communities. "Ujamaa" is the only way Black communities across America cancombat systematic racism and help close the economic wealthgap that exists today between Black Americans and other ethnicgroups. Black Americans are one ofthe U.S.'s biggest consumers,but we only spend a mere 3percent of our $600 billion onBlack-Owned businesses.
