“From Civil Rights to Silver Rights demonstrates that the single most important challenge facing African Americans in the 21st Century is creating wealth,” said Covington. “The Civil Rights Movement’s gains were remarkable and overdue, but the movement was never meant to create wealth.”
The Civil Rights Movement created economic opportunities, whereas the Silver Rights Movement will create the vehicle for seizing them.
We all applaud the efforts and contributions of The Revs. Jesse Jackson Sr., Al Sharpton and others born out of the Civil Rights movement. However, they must come to understand that their historical status as effective leaders of the Civil Rights era does not necessarily qualify them for 21st Century leadership.
His Circle of Wealth principle encompasses seven players who must drive the process of wealth creation in the African American community. Lastly, the book introduces readers to a unique business organization, COBE (Creating Opportunities for Black Enterprises), with the power to create a serious black business class. www.cobeworldwide.com
