A new nonprofit organization of Black community groups, faith-based institutions and business and political leaders throughout South Florida is taking a strength-in-numbers approach to combat inequities and promote prosperity for Blacks in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The South Florida Black Prosperity Alliance held news conferences in all three South Florida counties on Thursday to unveil the initiative. In Palm Beach County, the group met in front of the Martin Luther King Memorial at Currie Park in West Palm Beach, currently being renovated by a Black-owned business. "This is different because where there is an issue of economic disparity in Palm Beach County, we know the Black Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County will be on the front line. We know the Urban League of Palm Beach County will be on the front line," said Brian C. Johnson, president of the Broward County Minority Builders Coalition. "What we're declaring today, though, is when you see them, you're going to see the rest of us, too."
