This Video interview of the Lakeside Alliance, is a Builders Dream to have such a powerful force. We can not never fail on projects, by exclusion on one hand, and not being paid on the other.

This is interesting and why we're calling for sanctions on Turner, who was supposed to be the major lead with the billions of dollars of experience. Their history has been bankruptcy on Black Contractors and not paying them at the end of the job even though they had 4 other, so- called minority participants. Our own Fred V. Cole, a past V.P. of BCA SD, was a part of the logistics team to set this up, who worked on the project in chicago for over two years before they broke ground.

I been on the phone this weekend with Omar Sharif our NBCA chapter affiliate, who brought this public and also other leaders in Chicago who I'm calling on them to redirect their attention, to Turner, and not tarnished the legacy of the Obamas

Four Black-owned construction firms joined forces with a fifth company to create a model never seen before in the industry and oversee the construction of the newly opened Obama Presidential Center​.

The recent assault on the Obama foundation, accusation for not paying Black Contractors was a missed step, and mistruth on who's to blame?

The history, shows that Turner Construction, a New York City Based construction company has had a history in not paying Black Contractors, like on the L. A. Ram Stadium, the L.A. Clipper Stadium, and LA Cathedral of Church of God and Christ. Where this was brought to our attention by Mr. Drexel Johnson, California Vice President of the National Black Contractors Association of U.S.A., as a vanguard and advocate for Black Contractors, in Southern California. Where Abdur-Rahim Hameed as National President of the Black Contractors Association of America had to personally contact his friend Mr. Rick Bach, from Turner Southern California to get our Black Contractors paid.

Sometimes things look like they are intentional.

The National Black Contractors Association of America will be making a public statement and getting with our Chicago affiliate and redirect this issue, and demand that Turner Construction pay the unpaid Black Contractors who worked on Obama Presidential Library project, and call for future sanctions on companies like Turner, for this this kind of behavior.
