“The new civil rights battlefront is economic development, and the essential question facing our community is ‘How can we build wealth in our community?’ The community cannot develop the economy of African- Americans in a vacuum, therefore, it is important to tap into the five economic engines driving Charleston’s local economy, and the annual African- American Tourism Conferences are focused on showing how we can to tap into one of the most visible and accessible engines: The Tourism Industry.” – Kwadjo Campbell
