WRMSDC was founded on September 9, 1977, almost 10 years after the Civil Rights Movement that sparked national awareness about racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. Galvanized by the unequal treatment of under-resourced businesses, the Council began serving as advocates for impacted communities in Northern California, Nevada, and Hawaii.
