About this listen
What does it take to lead Dallas’ oldest Black business organization and support Black entrepreneurs in Texas?
In this episode of Making Black History Today, Liz and Porter sit down with Harrison Blair, President of the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, shares how growing up as the grandson of Negro League legend William Blair shaped his path to leadership. He also explains how civil rights pioneer A. Maceo Smith inspires his work today, and how the Chamber is preparing Black-owned businesses for a changing policy landscape in Texas.
We discuss:
How Black men voted in the most recent presidential election
How policy shifts impact Black-owned businesses in Texas
What the Dallas Black Chamber is doing to support entrepreneurs beyond DEI-focused funding
Building sustainable Black economic power in Dallas and beyond
