FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Eric Knowles said there is strength in numbers, and this is why the new South Florida Black Prosperity Alliance will be making a difference.
Knowles has been leading the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce since 2014. On Thursday, he held the microphone outside of the Urban League of Broward County’s Sunshine Health Community Empowerment Center in Fort Lauderdale.
“We have to stand together . Black businesses matter, Black education matters, Black health matters, Black seniors matter 365 days a year, not just 28 days in February,” Knowles said referring to Black History Month.
