Maggie Anderson is the author of Our Black Year: One Family’s Quest to Buy Black in America’s Racially Divided Economy
Maggie Anderson and her family made history and dominated headlines as global media covered their year-long stand living exclusively off businesses, professionals, and products from the Black community for an entire year. This first-ever real-life case study in self-help economics was called The Empowerment Experiment (EE).

Their stand and study proved how incremental support of these businesses and professionals can rescue the Black community and improve the American economy as a whole.
