Inner-City Wealth-Building Initiative Marks the 25th Year Anniversary of LA Riots

Urban Entrepreneurs meet to break the cycle of poverty and build the cycle of wealth in inner city Los Angeles
 
VAN NUYS, Calif. - April 5, 2017 - PRLog -- On April 29, 1992, Los Angeles erupted in riots, the smoldering desperation of poverty and injustice finally reaching the boiling point and exploding into undeniable violence and vandalism.  A total of 55 people lost their lives, as many as 2,000 were injured, and estimates reach up to $1 billion of damage in those five days.

Twenty-five years later AreaVibes reports:
*The income per capita in South Los Angeles is 51% lower than the national average.

*The median household income in South Los Angeles is 40% lower than the national average.

*The unemployment rate in South Los Angeles is 39% higher than the national average.

Inter-Agency Council is a local non-profit that is devoted to turning the tide for South LA by promoting financial empowerment through small business ownership, wise spending habits, and sound financial investing.  Toward that end, the organization's Urban Entrepreneurs will present "Creating Your Own Cycle of Wealth" on Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 7 pm at the Buffalo Wild Wings Baldwin Hills at 3939 Crenshaw Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA  90008.
