VP Harris to tout corporate giants' $4.7 billion pledge to minority-owned companies based near D.C.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to be a featured at an event celebrating a $4.7 billion commitment toward helping minority-owned businesses and underrepresented communities.
Harris will speak at an event at Howard University where the Greater Washington Partnership, a nonprofit civic alliance, will unveil the five-year, multibillion-dollar pledge. The funds will go toward businesses and communities in the capital region, including to areas such as Washington D.C., Richmond and Baltimore.
The gathering marks a new step by both corporate leaders and the Biden administration to aid minority-owned companies. Businesses and public officials made a wave of pledges to help communities of color after a racial justice reckoning sparked by the 2020 murder of George Floyd, and followed through on them with varying degrees of success.
