NBA Star Jaylen Brown Aims to Build ‘Black Wall Street’ in Boston with $300M Contract

Jaylen Brown wants to share his newfound money with the Black community after signing a huge contract with the Celtics. After signing a record-breаking five-year, $303.7 million contract with the Celtics, Brown unveiled his ambition to bring “Black Wall Street to Boston” and establish generational wealth at a Wednesday press conference.

“I want to launch a project to bring Black Wall Street here in Boston,” Brown told ESPN. “I want to аttаck the wealth disparity here.”

He believes analytics suggest stimulating the wealth gap could benefit the economy.

Like Black Wall Street, founded in 1871 by wealthy Black Tulsans, Brown hopes his proposal would “create new jobs, new resources, new businesses, new ideas” in the Northeast.

Greenwood/Black Wall Street thrived until the Tulsa Race Mаssаcre, when white supremacists tormented and destroyed the town for two days. Over 1,250 homes were destroyed and hundreds of residents died.

“Boston could be a fully integrated self-sufficient hub,” Two-time NBA All-Star remarked. “I think Boston could be the pilot, not just for wealth disparity here in the US, but also for around the world.”

Brown has spoken out against institutional racism and changed the negаtive stereotype of Black me𝚗 while assisting his community.

I’m curious where Jaylen takes this idea! Check out his ESPN interview for more information.
