Comcast may have a publicity nightmare on their hands thanks to the backlash and threats of a possible boycott in response to an ongoing legal battle with Black media mogul, Byron Allen.

Allen, who is chief of Entertainment Studios, theGrio’s parent company, spent years trying to get cable giants Comcast and Charter Communications to carry his networks, but has been repeatedly denied. He is now immersed in a $20 billion racial discrimination lawsuit against Comcast that has made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Now, the Los Angeles Urban League (Los Angeles, CA) is stepping up to galvanize the community to support the business man who believes Comcast and Charter Communications, both refused to carry his television channels on the basis of race.

The Winston-Salem Foundation's Black Philanthropy Initiative is granting thousands of dollars to schools and non-profits.

The goal is to improve the lives of African Americans in education and careers.

Winston-Salem Urban League (Winston-Salem, NC) was awarded $10,000 for the organization's Black Philanthropy Month. That money will support small businesses and summer youth employment.

“We get small businesses that are owned by African-Americans come through our doors almost every day,” said James Perry, CEO of Winston-Salem Urban League. “And over and over again they say ‘look the biggest challenge is that we don’t have access to capital, we don’t have access to money.’ And so, when the Black Philanthropy Initiative says look we’re going to make five thousand dollars available through the Urban League or these small businesses to advance their selves and grow---it’s absolutely huge.”
