Join NVBCC for an African American Walking Tour in historic Old Town Alexandria. In celebration of Black Business Month, let's gather for an experience of learning, inspiration, and camaraderie. At NVBCC, we want to embrace not only the economics and business relationships of black entrepreneurs and professionals but also the rich history of our shared history. Black History is American History, and we must know where we come from to understand our future better. Understanding generational wealth comes from understanding generational triumph.
