They were already working with the Office Depot corporation," said Harrison Blair, president and CEO of the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce. "They said, ‘Hey, Harrison. The Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce would be a great partner for a program like this. Would you consider working with ODP?’ And they said they'll give you money that you can give away.
