A Monthly Publication March 27, 2016 Memphis Black Wall Street Association Our vision for our city is to have a growing number of businesses employing locally, supporting local enterprise and tackling priority social issues. During the week of March 20-27, 2016 will be the week when Black people start building wealth. " That gap, enormous and awful as it already was, has been growing since the recession. Last week, the Pew Research Center reported that the median white household was worth $141,900, 12.9 times more than the typical black household, which was worth just $11,000. In 2007, the ratio was 10 to one. The divide between white families and Hispanics was similar. Do you consider your car an asset? Or is it a consumer good?* Because if you don't count it as an asset, the median black household has virtually no "wealth"—which is what a family owns minus all of its debts—to speak of. Pew's analysis is based on the Federal Reserve's 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances. And when the central bank tallies up America's net worth, it adds vehicles, along with some other durable goods, to the asset column, right along with things like houses, stocks, bonds, and savings. According to the Fed, the median vehicle is worth about $15,800. The Blackout purpose is to : Change the financial future of Black America by creating financial stability, economic opportunity, and multigenerational wealth Empower, protect and provide for families and their dreams – college education, home ownership, retirement, etc. Build a strong team of Market agents that are purpose-driven to provide financial education and tools to create $5 Billion of future income every 5 years: Let’s start today and build wealth in our communities one dollar at a time.

There are 42,020,743 Black Americans in the USA in 2010 12.9 percent of the population. Result: This would be a difficult formula We Absolutely Could Give Reparations To Black People. Here’s How. A step-by-step guide to paying the descendants of enslaved Africans Julian Craven February 23, 2016 Let’s say you’re driving down the street and someone rear-ends you. You get out of your car to assess the damage. The person who hit your vehicle gets out of his car, apologizes for the damage and calls his insurance company. Eventually, you receive a check for the harm done. Now, let’s say that for years, if not generations, your family and families like yours have been damaged by your country’s political and economic system — by law and widespread practice, with the intent of benefiting families not like yours — then the checks for the harm done would be called reparations. Beginning with more than two centuries of slavery, black Americans have been deliberately abused by their own nation. It’s time to pay restitution. Black activists and intellectuals have been making that point with increasing volume over the last few years, turning what was an obscure thought problem into a political issue. The question of reparations has even entered into the Democratic primary, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) struggling to explain to black voters why he has built such a strong social justice platform on every issue but this one. Sanders was put on the spot last month when a reporter asked him if he would support reparations as president. “No, I don’t think so,” he said, describing the likelihood of congressional passage as “nil” — as if those odds normally stopped him. Every year since 1989, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) has introduced the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. As the name indicates, H.R. 40 does not require reparations. It simply calls for comprehensive research into the nature and financial impact of African enslavement as well as the ills inflicted on black people during the Jim Crow era. Then, remedies can be suggested. Every year, the bill stalls. Fifty-nine percent of black Americans think that the descendants of enslaved Africans deserve reparations, according to a June 2014 HuffPost/YouGov poll. Sixty-three percent of black folks support targeted education and job training programs for the descendants of slaves. Most other Americans still aren’t listening. Ta-Nehisi Coates, perhaps the most prominent voice now pushing reparations, laid out why black Americans deserve even more than repayment for slavery in a sweeping 2014 article, “The Case for Reparations.” The exploitation didn’t stop with the Emancipation Proclamation, so any restitution must reckon with the discrimination that followed and deal with the living victims of these ills. Last month, Coates criticized Sanders’ decision to shy away from the issue: If not even an avowed socialist can be bothered to grapple with reparations, if the question really is that far beyond the pale, if Bernie Sanders truly believes that victims of the Tulsa pogrom deserved nothing, that the victims of contract lending deserve nothing, that the victims of debt peonage deserve nothing, that that political plunder of black communities entitle them to nothing, if this is the candidate of the radical left — then expect white supremacy in America to endure well beyond our lifetimes and lifetimes of our children. Let’s change that — let’s bother to have the hard but necessary discussion of what black Americans are owed for what was taken from them. If reparations ever come, what would they look like? Memphis Black Wall Street Association Memphis Black Wall Street Association Let’s Figure Out Who Deserves Reparations And Why Rubin Stacy was lynched in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in July 1935. Simply put, reparations are due to the millions of black Americans whose families have endured generations of discrimination in the United States. Most black Americans count among their ancestors people who endured chattel slavery, the ultimate denial of an individual’s humanity. William Darity, a public policy professor at Duke University who has studied reparations extensively, proposes two specific requirements for eligibility to receive a payout. First, at least 10 years before the onset of a reparations program, an individual must have self-identified on a census form or other formal document as black, African-American, colored or Negro. Second, each individual must provide proof of an ancestor who was enslaved in the U.S. Why does this huge group of Americans deserve restitution? Because starting with slavery, the damage done was institutionalized and inescapable. Darity has created a “Bill of Particulars,” including such specific grievances as: The extended history of government-sanctioned segregation and other forms of racial oppression in the Jim Crow era Terror campaigns launched by the Ku Klux Klan, often in collaboration with government officials Post-WWII public policies that were designed to provide upward mobility for Americans but in practice did not include black people (such as the GI Bill) Redlining, which made home ownership a possibility for white people while shutting out black folks Ongoing discrimination against and associated denigration of black lives Eric J. Miller, a professor at Loyola Law School, said the case for reparations starts with an honest accounting of the racism that black people have experienced. “Part of our history is our grandparents participating in these acts of terrible violence [against black people],” he said. “But people don’t want to acknowledge the horror of what they engaged in.” White America built its wealth on those generations of legal and physical violence — a fact most white people today would rather not dwell on. “People don’t want to believe that they got their gains in an ill manner,” Miller said. “The cognitive dissonance of learning that your property is got and preserved on the back of the misery of others is not an incredibly nice thing to live with. So people would rather discount it.” But when the harm is great enough, it’s not enough to say you’re sorry and try to fix problems going forward. Germany made an effort to repay the Jews for the horrors of the Holocaust. Japanese-Americans were repaid for suffering in internment camps. Black Americans deserve no less its misdeeds. For perspective, consider that in fiscal year 2014, the U.S. government spent $3.5 trillion, which is only 20 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product of about $17.5 trillion both to victims of the Holocaust and to Israel.

The Underground Railroad (UR) reached its height between 1850 and 1860. The passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850 made it more dangerous for those who helped slaves escape or offered them shelter. The consequence could be jail or a hefty fine. Here is a list of a few of the most prominent supporters of the UR. Levi Coffin (October 28, 1798 – September 16, 1877) Coffin was a Quaker abolitionist known as the “President of the Underground Railroad” because of the thousands of slaves who passed through him on their way north. He was involved with the UR stations in Indiana and Ohio and his home was known as the “Grand Central Station of the UR”. He was a wealthy businessman allowing him to provide funds for the UR operations. After the Emancipation Proclamation he formed aid societies that provided food, shelter, clothing and education to freed slaves. Harriet Tubman (c.1820 – March 10, 1913) Harriet Tubman factsBorn a slave in Dorchester County, Maryland Tubman is the most famous conductor of the UR nicknamed “Moses”. In a decade she freed more than 300 slaves in 19 trips. Working with agents of the UR she was able to guide them to freedom. She communicated with them using coded songs and secret UR code. During the Civil War she served as a cook, nurse, scout and spy. She advocated for Civil rights for blacks and women and founded the Harriet Tubman Home for the elder. She worked all her life helping African Americans get on their feet. William Still (October 7, 1821 – July 14, 1902) William Still, Underground RailroadStill was a free African American born in New Jersey. His father was manumitted and his mother escaped slavery from Maryland. He taught himself how to read and write since he was prohibited from having a formal education. William Still was hired as a clerk for the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery and became an active participant in the UR activities by being a station master and providing funds. After the emancipation he organized and assisted in the Freedmen’s Aid Commission, co-founded the first YMCA for black youth and homes for the aged and destitute children. How did slaves communicate about the Underground Railroad? One way that they can do this is by using pictures or symbols. By using these forms, people can tell others what they are thinking about. They have used symbols to create things such as totem poles and tattoos. Each of these expresses what their creators believe about their world. Memphis Black Wall Street Directory How was the Underground Ground Supported and Funded? Frederick Douglass (c.1818 – February 20, 1895) Frederick Douglass portrait1Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born in slavery, he taught himself how to read and write while a slave. He escaped in 1838 and settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts where with the help of William Lloyd Garrison became an agent and orator for the Massachusetts Antislavery Society. He published The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass in 1845 and two other autobiographies. He ran his own abolitionist newspaper, The North Star and later the Frederick Douglass Paper. His home in Rochester, NY was the final station of the Underground Railroad before crossing to Canada. At one time he sheltered 11 fugitives in his home. He sought to influence policy and met with President Lincoln. During the Civil War he helped recruit African American soldiers for the Union Army. He advocated for women’s rights. William Lloyd Garrison (December 12, 1805 – May 24, 1879) William Lloyd Garrison, Underground RailroadGarrison was the founder and editor of the influential abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator. He was also the founder of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Garrison required the total abolition of slavery and did not agree with the vision of gradual abolition. Garrison was a mentor of Frederick Douglass who after 8 years of alliance broke with him due to his radical views. Garrison was arrested and imprisoned in Georgia and had continuous death threats. Garrison nicknamed Harriet Tubman “Moses”. He was always supportive of her and her UR activities by providing funds and shelter to runaways. After the emancipation he kept writing about civil rights for blacks and women on the Independent and the Boston Journal as well as in the Woman’s Journal. Thomas Garrett (August 21, 1789 – January 25, 1871) Thomas Garrett, Underground RailroadGarrett was a Quaker abolitionist born in Pennsylvania. He moved to Wilmington, Delaware where he became the director of the Delaware Abolition Society. His house was openly known to be the last stop of the UR in Delaware. He defied authorities but was never arrested but was fined $4,500 for helping a family escape. Harriet Tubman used his house as a station many times and he provided her with funds to continue her missions. According to his own counts he helped 2,700 slaves. Traveling along the Underground Railroad was a long a perilous journey for fugitive slaves to reach their freedom. Runaway slaves had to travel great distances, many times on foot, in a short amount of time. They did this with little or no food and no protection from the slave catchers chasing them. Slave owners were not the only pursuers of fugitive slaves. In order to entice others to assist in the capture of these slaves, their owners would post reward posters offering payment for the capture of their property. If they were caught, any number of terrible things could happen to them. Many captured fugitive slaves were flogged, branded, jailed, sold back into slavery, or even killed. Memphis Black Wall Street Association How was the Underground Ground Supported and Funded? Sojourner Truth (c1797 – November 26, 1883) Sojourner Truth, Underground railroadTruth was born Isabella Baumfree in Swartekill, NY. Her first language was Dutch and learned English as an adult. She escaped with her infant daughter in 1826. In 1843 she changed her name to Sojourner Truth and devoted her life to Methodism and the abolition of slavery. Her best known speech “I ain’t a woman” was delivered in the 1851 Ohio Women’s Rights Convention. She worked in Ohio promoting the Antislavery movement in the state. Truth was not an active participant in the Underground Railroad but she did assist by helping slaves find new homes. From very early she sought political equality for women, opinion at which time was considered radical. John Brown (May 19, 1800 – December 2, 1859) Brown was a white abolitionist who believed that armed insurrection was the only way to eradicate slavery. He carried out the unsuccessful Harper’s Ferry Raid which led to his execution. Brown also conducted Bleeding Kansas. He was friends with Harriet Tubman who he called General Tubman. Tubman helped Brown recruit men for the Harper’s Ferry Raid. Brown helped transport UR slaves to safety and helped them settle in their new homes. Lucretia Coffin Mott (January 3, 1793 – November 11, 1880) An American Quaker, Mott was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts. She was a teacher whose interest in women’s rights began when she found out that men were paid three times more than women. Mott was a minister who helped found the American Anti-Slavery Society. After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act her house became a station on the UR. Asa Drury (July 26, 1801 – March 18, 1870 Drury was a Baptist minister and teacher at the Granville Literary and Theological Institute. He established the UR station in the Granville campus and organized the 1836 Ohio Abolition Convention. Memphis Black Wall Street Association Memphis Black March Edition Volume 1 The Black Business Directory The Digital Downloadable Version The Reparations of Memphis Tennessee 20 Acres and a Horse By Eddie Jones A Monthly Publication Memphis Black Wall Street Directory Making our own Wealth How we can do it? Eddie Jones, Memphis Black Wall Street Association Creating your own Reparations First before I write this piece, I want to let the public know that I don’t have a PHD in Finances, don’t have a Master in Psychology, and don’t have a MBA in Marketing. (Got that out the way). This is just a thinking outside the box of how black Memphians can create wealth with the tools you have. So let’s get started. Strength in numbers The Blackout Advice 101: Memphis Black Wall Street- Idea We have over 40 or more Black owned Hot wings business located in Memphis. If all of the Black Business owners/Hot wings restaurants would get together and shop at one distribution/manufacturing place, they can get their wings at a very low price and therefore their prices would be great for the customers. Yes the Distribution company is white owned but as blacks, we don't have a distribution company right now, therefore this would be the next best thing. Just a suggestion you can call it Black Food Market Association… This can be used with any model such as Barber and Beauty salon, Automobile services, Grocery, etc. The Blackout Advice 102 The Church Imagine this! There are over 3,000 Black churches in Memphis and if we create a fund that collects 100 dollars from each church per month. This fund will start a endowment fund for small business to create jobs for the local community. These business can be setup to go get contracts with the City and County Government. These business can be setup to compete within a global market through the means of the Internet. The figures would be 3,000 X 100 X 12 months = $3,600,000 This is almost impossible to do because the Black church have change over the years. Now it teaches religion separation instead of togetherness and sharing God. The Church uses a Business model to operate daily operations. More on the next page Memphis Black Wall Street Directory Making our own Wealth How we can do it? Creating your own Reparations Even if we try to support Black Businesses, it will not be enough. Therefore we have to created funding from companies who do business in our neighborhood. There is a reason they setup shop in our community. One, most black people don’t have transportation and therefore they tend to shop in walking distance or what is closer to them. Secondly, Black people are consumers who spends money as soon as they get it. Therefore we a great revenue source. And Last, some black people tends to get guarantee money that come every month which maybe retirement income, Federal income and federal subsidize. Most companies know this and consider this as guarantee income. At this time we can’t build a black business in these community because we are no at that stage to do so. So what do we do? Strength in numbers The Blackout Advice 103: Boycott your local franchise: There are three companies that have corner the market in the black community. They are General Dollar Store, Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree. First you must contact corporate headquarters and ask them to support your community with cash or donation to your local school in the after school programs. This is an investment from your money you spent with the company coming back into the community. This will create programs for young people education and help the crime rate go down because the company has stake in what the community is doing. Ask them to to give at least $10,000 to $20,000 to the school near that store or have them renovate the local park in the community or other local projects to help the community. Now suppose the company say it won’t do. Well , boycott that local store until they do. If they can’t support your children, why spend money with them. Eventually they will close or they will support your children. The Blackout Advice 104 Imagine this! If all the Greeks in the City got together and fund raise for a year. Just imagine if the Greeks do a million dollar fund raising project with the goal of creating a Jobs Training Program. What would they do with it? This could be the funding for Job Training in the Tech field or medical field along with College internship programs. Set a GOAL! $1,600,000 These are only suggestion I have come up with, but I think it would be a great start. The questions is, can black people sat aside their ego to move forward. Memphis Black Wall Street Directory STOCKS AND BONDS Presents Black Business Success Aliko Dangote, is Nigeria's First Billionaire Aliko Dangote, is Nigeria's first billionaire and richest black person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $25 billion dollars (March 2014). Forbes magazine ranks him as the 23th richest person in the world. Mr. Dangote is the founder of the Dangote Group, which has operations in Nigeria and several other countries in West Africa. Dangote Cement is Africa’s largest cement manufacturer, with over 26,000 employees in Nigeria. The company is constructing cement plants in Ethiopia, Zambia, South Africa, Senegal, Cameroon, the Republic of Congo, and several other African countries. He announced plans last fall to construct plants in Iraq and Burma. Mr. Dangote plans to sell a 20 percent interest in his cement business on the London Stock Exchange by the end of 2014, pricing it at a value of $35 billion to $40 billion. If he succeeds, his company will be the world’s most valuable cement producer. Mr. Dangote began his career as trader at age 21 with a loan from his uncle; He went on to built his Dangote Group into conglomerate with interests in sugar, flour milling, salt processing, cement manufacturing, textiles, real estate, haulage and oil and gas. The Dangote Group dominates the sugar market in Nigeria, as he is the major sugar supplier to the country's soft drink companies, breweries, and confectioners. The Nigerian sugar refinery, located at the port of Lagos, is the second-largest in the world. Dangote Group has moved from being a trading company to Nigeria's largest Industrial group, including Dangote Sugar Refinery (the most capitalized company on the Nigeria Stock Exchange, valued at over $3 billion with Aliko Dangote's equity topping $2 billion), Africa's largest Cement Production Plant: Obajana Cement, Dangote Flour amongst others. Mr. Dangote plans to build a $8 billion oil refinery facility that would process 450,000 barrels per day of petroleum mainly for domestic consumption. Despite being one of the world’s top oil producers, Nigeria does not refine its own oil. Mr. Dangote holds a business degree from Egypt’s Al-Azhar University in 1977.

Also, he actually invented an international network system that predated the current internet. CNN called him “A father of the internet,” and President Bill Clinton described him as “one of the great minds of the information age.” He holds several undergraduate and graduate degrees and has an IQ so high that it cannot be measured on conventional tests. He is a prolific inventor, so far having submitted 41 inventions to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. One of those inventions makes oil fields so productive that it has saved the U.S. hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Dr. Philip Emeagwali, who has been called the "Bill Gates of Africa," was born in Nigeria in 1954. Like many African schoolchildren, he dropped out of school at age 14 because his father could not continue paying Emeagwali's school fees. However, his father continued teaching him at home, and everyday Emeagwali performed mental exercises such as solving 100 math problems in one hour. His father taught him until Philip "knew more than he did." Growing up in a country torn by civil war, Emeagwali lived in a building crumbled by rocket shells. He believed his intellect was a way out of the line of fire. So he studied hard and eventually received a scholarship to Oregon State University when he was 17 where he obtained a BS in mathematics. He also earned three other degrees – a Ph.D. in Scientific computing from the University of Michigan and two Masters degrees from George Washington University. The noted black inventor received acclaim based, at least in part, on his study of nature, specifically bees. Emeagwali saw an inherent efficiency in the way bees construct and work with honeycomb and determined computers that emulate this process could be the most efficient and powerful. In 1989, emulating the bees' honeycomb construction, Emeagwali used 65,000 processors to invent the world's fastest computer, which performs computations at 3.1 billion calculations per second.

Although its candidates received nearly half of their popular support in 2012 from racial minorities, less than 2 percent of the money the Democratic Party spent on consultants over the past two election cycles went to firms with minority ownership. This finding comes from a report released this week from an ideologically sympathetic source, who says the party risks alienating its base if it doesn’t wise up. Barbers cont’d Quality Haircuts 5707 Mount Moriah Rd. ………….277-3757 Haircutz/Styles ………………….………………….490-0958 PowerPAC+, a political action committee funded by major Democratic donor Steve Phillips, found that of the $514 million paid to consulting firms over this time period, only $8.7 million went to firms that were either minority-owned or had a minority principal. This means that only 1.7 percent of the spending by the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee went to minority business enterprises (MBEs). Some 45 percent of Democratic support in 2012 came from racial minorities. But what’s the fuss? Phillips said the figures underscored the fact that the Democratic Party had not done a good job fostering a political class that reflects its popular support— something that could cost the party over the long term.“If the Democratic Party is going to be competitive in coming years, it has to be ensuring that its political class, its operatives and consultants, are as knowledgeable about the communities it’s trying to communicate with as possible,” Phillips told The Daily Beast. “The fact that we have elected a black president may have obscured this reality that who is getting the dollars does not reflect the constituency… If we have an election without Obama, we may be in for a rude surprise.” PowerPAC+ identified 49 minority-owned firms, but found that only 14 received contracts from Democratic Party committees. The question is, Are African American being Pimp out?

KILBORN, Published: December 26, 1992 MEMPHIS— The nation's economy is staggering out of the recession, say most of the gauges that measure it, but people who are getting jobs again tell a sobering story. Many good factory jobs and white-collar office jobs with good wages and benefits are giving way to unstable and mediocre jobs. That makes this recovery different from any other. Trends that started in the 1980's have produced a new look to working in America. Part-time jobs, temporary jobs, jobs paying no more than the Federal minimum wage of $4.25 an hour, jobs with no more benefits than a few vacation days are displacing permanent regular jobs that people would lose in layoffs in past recessions and reclaim when business picked up. An Empty Promise. Now, with corporate giants like General Motors and I.B.M. announcing plans to shed tens of thousands of workers next year, the resilience of the recovery is in some doubt. Retraining for better jobs is proving an empty promise for many workers because the better jobs are not there. The problems posed by this kind of feeble recovery can be seen in three very different communities: Brockton, Mass., an old industrial town that was all but flattened by the recession; Wichita, Kan., whose bad luck may be starting only now, and Memphis, which, like most of the South, has suffered in recent years but with a little less unemployment than the national average. Some people expect more of Mr. Clinton. Robert Earl Evans, a 35year-old construction worker here, said he could buy half as much this year -- with his pay of $7.50 an hour until he was laid off a few days ago -- as he could a decade ago. "I made good money until Reagan and Bush got in," he said. "Clinton might sweeten the deal by putting jobs out in the streets for people. Things can't get no more worse." In these cities, the disappearance of factory jobs poses sociological questions. "That's the way semiskilled workers move into the middle class and minorities get high wages," said John Gnuschke, head of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at Memphis State University. "Now there's no real hope of acquiring a single job that will allow them to move up." No one can know how strong these trends are. Typically, as businesses come back from a recession, they push employees to work overtime before they commit to more hiring. And in this recovery, they may be using part-time and temporary workers to see how well each fits in. Those who do can be offered fulltime jobs as business picks up. Employment in factories could recover, too, with more and more American businesses trying to regain a competitive edge over foreign industry. Yet for people who are finding work, these few signs of recovery say little about the pay, benefits and job security. For the first time in Brockton, employment officials there say, most new jobs are temporary or part time, with wages of $5 to $8 an hour. For nearly five years, David French, 49, was a machinist-mold maker, earning $10 an hour. He lost the job in June 1991, when the company closed its machine shop. He has found two temporary machine shop jobs, one for 43 days, one for two weeks, and the last ended six months ago. "Every job that's permanent -- there's 10 or 12 people applying," he said. Restaurants Closing Up. Memphis, with a population of 600,000, flourished in the 1980's as a city built on services. It is a huge distribution and transportation center, with a port on the Mississippi River, scores of truck lines and the nation's busiest airport at night because of all its freight traffic then. Federal Express, a giant of the services industry, sets the wage standard here. Steve Priddy, vice president for personnel administration, says the starting wage for a package handler is $7.51 an hour. In major urban centers, he said full-time couriers earn an average of $15.

Dr. Ivory Taylor is a retired U.S. Army master sergeant whose last tour of duty in the 1990s was running the Mississippi ROTC program. Dr. Joyce Taylor was a pharmacist for over fifteen years with Walgreens before joining her husband and formulating plans for the first and second Taylor Apothecary locations. In 2008, Taylor Apothecary participated in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s e200 program. “The goal of the SBA Emerging 200 initiative is to identify 200 inner-city businesses across the country that show a high potential for growth—and to provide them the network, resources and motivation required to build a sustainable business of size and scale. SBA is increasing outreach to areas historically challenged by high levels of unemployment and poverty,” according to Tennessee SBA District Director Walter Perry. The e200 program has also been compared to a “Mini-MBA” by many of its graduates. Ivory and Joyce Taylor have attended subsequent e200 graduation ceremonies and have been featured speakers in support of the nationally successful e200 program. Under the SBA loan guaranty program, Taylor Brown Apothecary also received an SBA loan to expand its operations in 2007. Another program, sponsored by the SBA, the Tennessee Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has also assisted the Browns’ pharmacy business. Taylor Brown Apothecary has been a client of TSBDC since March 2003 when it started planning the opening of its first pharmacy. TSBDC assisted with its business planning and capitalization efforts. Recently, the company has announced it will be expanding its operations in the Mid-South, opening five new stores, four of them in the Memphis area. “The expansion will put us in position to take full advantage of the new health care legislation recently signed into law by President Barack Obama,” said Dr. Ivory Taylor. He added, “The revolutionizing aspects of the healthcare industry directly affect the population segments our company has made its primary areas of concentration.” Taylor Brown Apothecary’s mission is to “foster an environment that helps promote both healthy living and healthy lifestyle choices; ultimately to build communities that support good health.” The company is committed to maintaining the highest standards of business ethics, quality management and leadership principles. “We strive to always provide exceptional customer service and competitive pricing, and to develop ongoing relations with our customers, building always on honesty and integrity,” stated Taylor. Doyle said, “The company has a very strong, positive reputation in the area and is widely known for its good customer relations and quality products.” Visited their website www.doctaylorbrown.com Doctors Joyce and Ivory Taylor have been recognized through many business and professional awards, including: • 2007 Facility of the Year Award, Black Business Association • 2008 Community Service Award, City of Memphis • 2009 Top Woman of Excellence Award, Tri-Star Defender • 2010 Top Man of Excellence Award, Tri-State Defender • 2010 Company of the Year Award, Black Business Association Memphis Black Wall Street Directory TAYLOR BROWN APOTHECARY® Taylor Brown Apothecary is a multifaceted community drugstore designed to meet the various medical needs of our community.
