In a moving talk during the Under30Summit, America’s top black business figure, Robert Smith, envisions the 'blessing' that can emerge from current tragedies by StevenBertoni

to discuss how the Floyd murder and protests affected them as black entrepreneurs and what the business world must do to champion racial equality.

Inspiring, poignant, and compelling, the conversation lays out the opportunity found in the Floyd tragedy, a plan for progress, and how the nationwide Covid-19 shutdown created the perfect environment for the video of George Floyd's murder to spark the nation into action for lasting change. Below, edited highlights from the influential talk and a video of the conversation in full. Take a look.

"There was one blessing about the curse of Covid-19. It's the blessing of quiet. Today businesses and sports are shutdown. There's not a lot of distractions. So those eight minutes and forty-six seconds are louder than even the shots that occurred a few weeks earlier on Ahmaud Arbery. Because of that, we listened. We listened as Americans. We listened as the world. And said This is not right.
