As President-elect Donald Trump builds his White House team, one of America's most powerful black moguls was among the high-profile names who visited him on Sunday at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, NBC News reports.
The private club, set on nearly 600 acres complete with a helipad, was the setting for a discussion that Robert L. `Bob' Johnson— chairman of The RLJ Companies, and co-founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET)—had with Trump and several members of his inner circle.
Johnson said that he outlined a series of economic strategies that have the potential to uplift African-Americans across the board, including tax incentives to lure corporations back into inner cities and create jobs and putting more money into African-American banks and ensuring they have ample capital in order to lend and promote community development.
Another idea on the table: establishing an Office of Urban and Minority Affairs in the White House.
