9:10 AM Extinguished Prosperity: Reclaiming What Was Lost in Tulsa

This year marks 100 years since the horrific events of the Tulsa race massacre when white rioters attacked the city’s Greenwood section, at the time one of the nation’s most prosperous African-American communities. After the violence ended, 35 city blocks of what is now known as “Black Wall Street” were reduced to charred rubble, hundreds were wounded and dozens -- perhaps hundreds -- were killed. We talk with Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum on his efforts to help heal the city a century later. Plus, John Rogers, the mutual fund manager and great-grandson of an architect of Black Wall Street, discusses building generational wealth today.

We speak to Asian-American leaders about what corporate America, particularly the tech sector, could do to show greater support and make actionable change for the AAPI (Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders) community.

  • Lee Daniels, Award-Winning Filmmaker; Founder, Lee Daniels Entertainment

The LGBTQ+ community won a major victory for equal rights in 2020 with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. But the conservative majority court is poised to consider several cases in an attempt to balance religious freedom with LGBTQ rights, with the potential to erode hard-won gains on marriage equality, trans rights and other issues. We'll explore the next legal battles facing the LGBTQ+ community.

In 2021, Pitchbook predicts that Private Equity fundraising will surpass $330 billion – setting an all-time high for the industry, which has added over $4 trillion in assets under management in the last decade across alternative assets. In an era marked by unparalleled growth across the alternative investment space, women and people of color continue to be excluded as beneficiaries. This conversation will focus on new initiatives designed to address this problem by backing the next generation of managers and entrepreneurs to diversify the alternatives marketplace.

1:25 PM Out of Office: A Conversation With Howard Schultz

Bloomberg Live features Howard Schultz in this special live episode of its popular Out of Office podcast. There's no corporate talk here. Instead, we ask questions newsmakers usually don't get asked when they're in the office. We speak to the former CEO of Starbucks about the influences on his personal life that have defined his views on public service, equality, racial harmony, his vision for America. And, of course, coffee.

  • Howard Schultz, Former CEO and Chairman Emeritus, Starbucks
  • Moderator: Mallika Kapur, Deputy Global Editor, Bloomberg Live and Host, Out of Office
