*This is video 40!* The Black Panther Party was founded 60 years ago this week! One of their most important legacies was how they challenged America to rethink what it means to support children. Check out our research on school lunch debt and the injustice of hungry kids.

After a long hiatus we are back for regularly scheduled economic videos the rest of 2026! Share with your people—and stay tuned for the next one!

USBC’s motto is a mantra, mission, and vision for a stronger America: To make a great America, there must be a great Black America. To have a great Black America, we need thriving Black businesses. And thriving Black businesses need strong Black Chambers of Commerce.

That belief drives our work to strengthen chambers, support entrepreneurs, and help Black-owned businesses grow. When Black businesses thrive, communities grow stronger—and America moves forward.

Hair and the cost of managing it is more tangled up in macro economics than we might appreciate. We explore the financials of a salon session in 2026 and what people are compromising on to make it happen. We talk about employment, hair products, and why we all need a good barber. Let us know what you think #barbershop #hairsalon #buyblack #braidseason #sewins by @byblack.us

All of us are a little poorer. And all of us have a reason to be angry. Wage theft robs money from families and is the embodiment of what is wrong with our economy. Companies get away with underpaying employees every year. And if we want an economy that empowers Black businesses they need a consumer base that can buy their products. Take a look at our video and let us know what you think. #economy #wagetheft #buyblack #minimumwage #wagegap by @byblack.us

58% of small businesses regularly use credit cards — the most commonly used financing product among American entrepreneurs. Restrict access, and you restrict the tool they rely on most. usbcnocap.com #NoCap #SmallBusinessCredit by @byblack.us

On this July 4th—we’re thinking about what it would take to make America better for the people that built it. As a conclusion to a longer series of videos on reparations—here’s some of our final arguments. We will see yall at the cookout. And as always—ByBlack by @byblack.us

For our final episode in the series, we wanted to remind people that this is possible. The long arch of this struggle can end in victory. History is full of examples of people telling survivors and victims that that the justice they demanded is too late or too much.
We inherit this fight and its ultimate success from generations prior. People simply asking for their respect, rights and reparations. And I for one believe the effort is overdue.
Hopeful you’ve enjoyed our discussion, research, and message of hope. The reparations report was a joy to develop for you.
So this July 4th, however you commemorate today, remember that America has potential—it’s our job to help it realize it. And on this 250th anniversary, we can do that through reparations.
