Dr. Claude Anderson, President of Power-Nomics, talks to The Breakfast Club about the plight of Black Americans, an interview you don’t want to miss. Dr. Anderson is also a best-selling author and activist.
Anderson was State Coordinator of Education for Florida under Governor Reubin Askew during the tumultuous period of the 1970′s. After successful social reform projects in Florida and leading President Jimmy Carter‘s Florida campaign to a win in the state, Carter appointed Anderson as the Federal Co-Chairman for a Commission of governors in the southeastern states. In that position (rank of assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Commerce), he chaired a regional commission that funded and directed economic development projects for governors in those states.
The seafood industry, which at that point was all wild catch, was a significant sector focus. The projects funded created jobs and businesses in the Southeastern states. Anderson has taught at all levels of education. He was also executive director of two economic development corporations for Miami, Florida, and a primary planner and coordinator for Atlanta’s 1988 Democratic National Convention.
