Growing up in segregated New Orleans, Louisiana surrounded by an abundance of small Black businesses, Marc Morial, President of the National Urban League, noticed something all the owners had in common.
“They had their dignity and independence, and they were strong supporters of Civil Rights and Black empowerment because they had their independence,” said Morial, the closing speaker during the 17
th annual A.G. Gaston conference, held virtually this year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Morial was one of several national and local business leaders during the two-day conference that included forums and panel discussions and was held via LIVE YouTube stream.

Although the 2021 A.G. Gaston Conference will be held virtually February 23-24 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it could not come at a better time. This year’s conference will expand on many of the principles that Dr. Gaston lived by as he built several successful businesses during a time when it was tough for Black businesses to be successful. Entrepreneurs and Black business owners can learn lessons from Dr. Gaston as they cope with the fallout of the worst global health crisis in over a century.
One key to coping is following Dr. Gaston’s mindset – “Find a Need and Fill it” -which enabled him to build a business empire that led Black Enterprise magazine to name him the “BE’s 1992 Entrepreneur of the Century”. Gaston also famously stated “Money has no color. If you can build a better mousetrap, it won’t matter whether if you’re black or white, people will buy it.”
