Walmart has been very active: feeding the community during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; Southern Leadership Christian Leadership Conference; assisted during the BP oil spill for underserved connunities. Art Rocker played a pivotal role for school choice for Underserved communities with the philanthropist late John Walton of the Walmart Corporation. Art says John Walton fought for and organized poor Black, Brown and Native Americans for choice in education.
Dick Gregory and Art Rocker was the facilitator of thousands of protesters for claims in the Gulf Coastal Region due to the BP Oil Spill. Art said. After time, BP America became our Ally, not our adversary.
Bp America settled over 500+ million dollars for AAHOA & NAbHood owners, black businesses & churches, and individual settlements of claims in the Gulf Coast Region.
BP America gave additional funding for black nonprofits and black chambers of commerce for small businesses. BP America left Billions and billions of funding in the Gulf Coast Region for all people, however, leadership appointed by the Governor still has not share billions to minorities.
