Michigan Black Chamber of Commerce: We want 'fairness and equity' in Detroit projects

Michigan Black Chamber of Commerce: We want 'fairness and equity' in Detroit projects | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"As Detroit seeks to revitalize and redevelop, the Michigan Black Chamber of Commerce — and other groups representing minority businesses owners — plans to make a case for more inclusion in these projects.

“Or goal is to make sure there is fairness and equity,” said Ken Harris, president and CEO of the chamber.
“We must make it a priority that we are included, and the processes are inclusive.
It makes sense to have minority and African-American firms at the table.”

He added: “We find it deplorable if they are not.”
