The Precarious State of Black Philanthropy

On February 28, 2023, we hosted this thought-provoking conversation with Black Philanthropist Emmett Carson. Discussing the ingenuity of Black philanthropy and its legacy, Carson also talked about the roots of Giving Black and how the formation of Black churches and mutual-aid societies provided the foundation for traditions still observed today.
