Harry Alford and his team at Humble Ventures have funded more than 50 Black-owned businesses in 2020 alone, some of which include a social network that centers communities of color and a fast-casual restaurant whose mission is to redefine healthy and affordable food for all.
Alford said the Black Lives Matter movement validated his company s mission and gave him added motivation to keep investing in Black entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs of color. While he is optimistic about 2021, he thinks leaders in the business community will need to keep their focus on advancing racial diversity, equity, and inclusion. I don t believe the problems that surfaced in 2020 will disappear with the shift of administrations, he said. We must continue to do the work. We need to listen. We need to learn. We need to speak up when we see injustice.

Kerry Inger wants her students to see the interesting aspects of tax in everyday situations, and especially those that aren’t every day, like how tax laws can affect a baseball caught at a Major League Baseball game.
“Is that baseball taxable? It can depend on the player and situation,” she said. “An ordinary foul ball, no. But a key home run in the World Series, most definitely.”
Inger, associate professor in the Harbert College of Business’ School of Accountancy, teaches undergraduate and graduate tax accounting classes. The classes involve different approaches to teaching, but Inger brings out the best in her students, no matter the level.
