BLong.Network to the Promised Land in 2026

$750.00

BLong is the anointed assembly of daughters and sons of the Mother Continent who put their faith in reaching The Promised Land during 2026. The SILVER ANNIVERSARY  25th Innovation&Equity annual scientific proceeding on Jan. 15 has provided the roadmap to reach Our10Plan: the African-American economic strategy by 2026, the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.  The headquarters will be the most extensive galleries for Black art ever created and a global Diaspora business hub.    Last year, Innovation&Equity24 generated $1.5 billion.  That is our baseline for moving forward. Things may look challenging, but the Black labor movement that got its spark from the Bay Area caused overrode Ronald Reagan veto with a Republican Senate to end apartheid in South Africa in 1984.   They expect us to rise to this occasion.  For more information on Innovation&Equity25, email johnwtempleton@blackbusinessmonth.com or call (415) 547-9851.  See the 6th Region Sunday preview at https://vimeo.com/1149986329?fl=tl&fe=ec

Description

BLong is the vanguard of the Diaspora, powering The New Black Urbanism which puts the vision of the early 20th century New Negro pioneers into the concrete reality of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s promised land as the Journal of Black Innovation National Black Business Month(R) installs industry anchors across the 250 clusters of Black wealth with more than $1 billion in aggregate income in connection with the 100 African and Caribbean metropolitan areas with more than 1 million population.   Each August, we will replicate Marcus Garvey’s 1920 month-long conclave at Madison Square Garden in TheSargent: Sargent Claude Johnson National Museum of African-American Art at Pan African Place as we own our own image for 1.5 billion souls globally and use our creativity to create global brands.  Through March 17, be one of the thousands to heal your soul with the power of Black art as a founding campaign member of TheSargent.  You’ll have free admission to 400 events during the year at TheSargent, the Pan African Banking summit in Washington, D.C. April 16 and streaming virtually. We have a goal of adding 100,000 to BLong Network each month during 2026. By then, we will have reached. $3 trillion in African-American aggregate income through the grace of the Creator.   We’ve made steady progress since national leaders embraced Our10Plan in 2014.
