For the last twelve years, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson has convened a major economic summit named the Wall Street Project. The event brings together members of the minority and business community to discuss ways for there to be equity and fairness in the marketplace.
As part of the general effort to bring about economic justice, Jackson will host “One Thousand Churches Connected Minister’s Luncheon” on Thursday, January 15, 2009, the actual birthday of Dr. King.
The One Thousand Churches Connected Ministers’ Luncheon of the 12th Annual Wall Street Project Economic Summit will celebrate a dynamic year of progress and accomplishment for the Church and speak to best practices for continued economic empowerment through education and collective approaches to community stability and growth,” says the official website of the Wall Street Project.
Keynote speaker for the event will be Sheila C. Bair, Chairman of the FDIC.
