A modest investment of $125 million over five years could initiate a network of business accelerators that promote growth for minority-owned businesses through enhanced access to capital, business networks, and supply chains.

The protests have quieted down here in the Tri-State, but the calls for racial equality and justice are still loud and clear. WCPO will examine where the movement goes from here.

Like so many tragic stories these days, this one began with an unarmed Black man killed by police over traffic violations. It was April 2001, and mass protests arose in the Over-the-Rhine district of Cincinnati, leading to the most destructive U.S. riots since the 1992 Rodney King riots in Los Angeles.

The Cincinnati Minority Business Accelerator is proud to release the Minority Business Accelerator Playbook, developed with Next Street to share the blueprint behind our success. We hope this guide will empower communities nationwide to replicate a similar model for scaling mid-sized minority-owned businesses, driving equitable economic growth and wealth-building.
