African-Americans need real estate asset protection planning in Oswego and Kendall counties to secure, transfer wealth, and empower future generations. 

Introduction

African-Americans are one of the most critical racial minorities today in the United States. The life, wealth, prestige, and success that the American society enjoys today were built on the shoulders of slavery, a burden borne singlehandedly by the forebears of the African-American racial minority. So, it is grossly unfair that even in the 21st century, African Americans continue to be shortchanged and lag in accessing/maximizing the resources for wealth building. While much of the blame can be placed on the socioeconomic and political doorsteps of a highly racist system in the past, a cultural lack of estate planning initiatives among African-Americans is a significant barrier hindering socioeconomic empowerment across successive generations.
