Black and Self Sufficient In America: Name one self sustaining organization, entity or institution...

We actually have an organization
http://www.akoma.org

Cool...In her first year, AKOMA was featured at numerous local programs and concerts. On June 22, 1996, AKOMA made her debut concert and established the Nona Patterson Chambers Scholarship in honor of her elder member and adopted choir mother. Across her thirteen year herstory, sixty-three young Christian women have received more than $38K to attend college.

How come the nabj has not created its own media entity? Hmmm... "New media companies Yahoo and Google will be two of UNITY 2008’s major sponsors." Don't think these were founded by NABJ members.

If major sponsorship like Yahoo or Google can't be achieved through its own membership, this how good is the association? Beyond sponsorship, could a member launch a product like a google/yahoo and have the same success in support? We'll see how Rushmore Drive survives. Will it go the same route as "black media?"

Yalanda,

I take it from your question that you mean descendent of slavery African-American. Or are you asking about West Indian Blacks, Latin Blacks, Native African Blacks, and/or Blacks from a third country like British-African-American?

If your question relates to all blacks I would say there are far too many to list:
