For all of its growth in recent years, Grand Rapids still has a long way to go to make itself more economically friendly for African-Americans.  Of the 52 largest cities in America, Grand Rapids ranks 51st, beating out Milwaukee, which was ranks at the bottom. Grand Rapids is home to about 40,000 African-Americans, who make up between 20 percent and 21 percent of the population, Robinson said the fact that the city has such a small population of African-Americans compared to other cities on the list might have led to the lower ranking. He also believes Grand Rapids received a low economic ranking, because of the city’s history of institutional racism, which eventually led to a system of hyper-segregation.

“We have been so disenfranchised for so long by supporting every other culture or nationality, other businesses, because we haven’t had any. When we do, when people of African-American descent do take off and start a business, it’s kind of difficult for it to be successful or for it to thrive because the community doesn’t invest into it.” --Jamiel Robinson, CEO of Grand Rapids African American Black Businesses Ladies and gentlemem on this episode of In Life Now we went "hard in the paint" and talked about some serious issues, challenges, and roadblocks currently facing the black community on a local level as well as national level within the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan with our guest Mr. Jamiel Robinson, Community Activist and CEO of GRABB along with our cohost Community Activist and Executive Director of Bates Place Rev.

Jamiel Robinson is a busy man who is trying to make a difference in the community, but someday he hopes to live up to the example set by his grandfather. Robinson said that, before the properties were sold in 2005 by his uncle, his grandfather, Ronald Robinson, practically owned the block of Division Avenue south of Wealthy Street that was anchored by his Robinson Barber Shop. His grandfather lived a too-short life, dying at the age of 47. That age gives Robinson a date to meet his goals. “By the time I’m 47, I’d like to match what he did,” Robinson said. “My success is matching what he did,” he added, “but when you do what you love, it’s not an end goal.” Ladies and gentlemann get ready for an informative conversation with the CEO of Grand Rapids Area Black Business, Mr. Jamiel Robinson!
