Bill to Strengthen Minority Entrepreneurship

A bill introduced in the Senate Wednesday would assist aspiring and existing minority entrepreneurs in achieving success in the marketplace. The Minority Entrepreneurship Development Act instructs the U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, to create an Office of Minority Small Business Development. The new bill also calls for the establishment of a program at historically Black colleges and universities, or HBCUs, and other minority institutions to steer students toward entrepreneurship as a career option.
