More than $20 million in scholarships have been given out to thousands of students since the inception of that event.

"Work is so very critical in times of inflation, in particular the impact this pandemic has had on Black and brown communities. So one of our focuses this year has been exposing the exploitation of student loan debt," said Bishop Tavis Grant, Acting National Executive Director.

The breakfast will take place on January 16 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Marriott Marquis Chicago.
