Discover the hidden cost of being Black in America.
In this highly acclaimed book, The Black Tax, Shawn Rochester shows how The Black Tax (which is the financial cost of conscious and unconscious anti-black discrimination), creates a massive financial burden on Black American households that dramatically reduces their ability to leave a substantial legacy for future generations. Los Angeles Black Professionals is honored to host Mr. Rochester for a presentation & discussion about The Black Tax and what can be done about it. Mr. Rochester will deliver the following:
Explain the concept of The Black Tax in a paradigm-shifting, data-driven, and fact-based manner.
Quantify the historical cost of discrimination against Black people in America and explain how that led to Black people owning only about 2% of US wealth.
Introduce a new economic framework to help create the millions of jobs and businesses that are missing in the Black community.
A Discussion of racial and economic inequality that is the defining issues of our time.
Join host Aladdin “Prince of the airwayz” of 93.9 Wkys for a virtual book reading and Q&A from four dynamic authors: Brandon Burke, Dr. Art Fields, Aleka Melson and Derrick Jakolby Washington.

In Song and Spirit: A Musical Documentary
Join us for the premiere of the new musical documentary In Song and Spirit.
Conceived by harpist Dr. Ashley Jackson, this film weaves together excerpts from Harriet Jacobs’s memoir Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl* with stories of Jackson’s own family history and performances of African American spirituals while exploring themes of migration, black womanhood, and the empowering role of collective memory in the preservation of African American culture.
Directed and filmed by Malik Isasis, this musical documentary features vocalist Freddie June with Ashley Jackson on harp. This exciting new piece will showcase live performances of the spirituals Deep River, I’m Troubled in Mind, and The Angels Have Changed My Name, arranged by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and transcribed by Dr. Jackson.
The film will premiere for free on our Facebook page and YouTube channel!
We hope you will also join us for the post-premiere Talk Back with the filmmaker Malik Isasis, harpist Ashley Jackson, and vocalist Freddie June, moderated by The Harlem Chamber Players’ founder and director Liz Player.
