LANGSTON, OK, UNITED STATES, February 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the business landscape evolves, Langston University School of Business (LUSB) is calling for greater inclusivity in media representation and business thought leadership. Dr. Daryl D. Green, Dean of LUSB, emphasizes amplifying diverse voices, particularly those from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

"As we move into 2025, it is critical for media platforms and business leaders to seek out and include a broader range of perspectives," says Dean Green. "Langston University houses a wealth of expertise—industry veterans, retired executives, and distinguished researchers—who bring real-world insights and forward-thinking strategies to today’s rapidly changing economic environment."

The Enduring Legacy of Black Wall Street
Tulsa’s Black Wall Street once symbolized Black economic prosperity before the 1921 massacre that devastated the thriving business district. Despite the tragedy, its legacy endures, inspiring new generations of Black entrepreneurs and business leaders. The values of financial literacy, cooperative economics, and innovation that fueled Black Wall Street’s success remain at the heart of LUSB’s mission.
