The National Business League Re-Establishes Alabama as National Headquarters

The National Business League formalizes Alabama as its national hub with statewide chapters and HBCU partnerships to boost Black enterprise and economic sovereignty.

  • On Feb. 11, 2026, the National Business League announced a formal reorganization and expansion in Alabama, establishing its national operations base in Tuskegee and Montgomery, Alabama, with Dr. Ken L. Harris calling it "a strategic return to origin and a leap forward in capacity."
  • Tracing more than 126 years, the NBL was founded in 1900 by Booker T. Washington, establishing its historic roots and institutional pedigree.
  • The relaunch includes chapter activations in cities like Montgomery and Tuskegee and partnerships with HBCUs such as Tuskegee University and Alabama State University, alongside Alabama hosting national headquarters and enterprise centers.
  • The expansion positions Alabama as a command center for Black enterprise, with Dr. Ken L. Harris calling it "a strategic return to origin and a leap forward in capacity."
  • Framing the effort as a 21st-century rebuild, organizers say the NBL aims to modernize Booker T. Washington's 'Tuskegee Machine' for economic sovereignty and global unification, said Dr. Ken L. Harris.
