Weekend Wealth Transfer:
How Black Churches Move Billions of Dollars Out of Black Communities and
How to Move It Back (2016)
Every Sunday in
black churches across America collection plates are passed and
parishioners insert their tithes and offerings. The very next day, as
those funds are deposited in church bank accounts, the transfer of
millions of dollars occurs as those funds are placed in financial
institutions that are not owned by African Americans. However, the
weekend’s wealth transfer does not end there. It continues throughout
the remainder of the week as the majority of mortgage companies,
landlords, insurance companies, and vendors most black churches utilize
are also not African American-owned.

Why African Americans Can't Get Ahead: And How We Can Solve It
With Group Economics (2008)
[Currently available in paperback (autographed copies) at
Cushcity.com
and in
Kindle format on Amazon.com]
Have you ever wondered why, despite decades of economic development, civil rights legislation and welfare programs, the economic status of African Americans always seems to lag behind nearly every other group?
Why do members of other ethnic groups come to America from foreign countries and, within a few years, own most of the businesses in Black communities and, at the same time, treat us with utter contempt?
Even when a few African Americans experience economic success, such as entertainers and athletes, why is it that so many of them end up penniless after generating millions of dollars for others?
For years, Gwen Richardson pondered these same questions. Her research and quest for answers led to eye-opening revelations about the fabric of American society and the fate of the African-American community. In this Essence bestselling breakthrough book, Gwen presents cutting-edge solutions to these challenges with a group economics approach.
