Celebrating almost 12 Years of Cooperative Economics, The Shrine Cultural & Events Center is home to the original and largest BUY BLACK MARKETPLACE in the Southwest area seeking to provide holiday shoppers with the opportunity to support Black businesses and entrepreneurs during the shopping season. Black people in America spend 1.8 trillion dollars a year which makes us the 12th largest economy in the world. The largest employer in any community is their own people. It is possible for us to be prosperous and in control of our own destiny.
