Black Entrepreneur Makes Inauguration Dreams Come True
Published by Travers on Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 1:39 pm.Posted by TRAVERS for BET’s YOU(th) VOTE
His name is Earl Stafford, but he might as well be called “Inauguration Santa.” As you probably know (because this more than likely applies to you) everybody and their cousin Peaches is trying to make it to Washington D.C. on 1/20/09 for the Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama. (I know I am!) But you also probably know that trying to find a hotel, flight, Inauguration ticket, etc. at this point is harder than Bush trying to locate “misunderestimated” in the dictionary.
With this in mind, successful black businessman Earl Stafford has spent over $1 million on luxury hotel rooms, food and drink, inauguration viewing suites, tuxedos, ball gowns, and hairdressers to give poor, terminally ill, and wounded military veterans the chance to attend this historic presidential inauguration in style, and get this, FOR FREE!!!
Mr. Stafford is the CEO and Chairman of Universal Systems and Technology, Inc., a company that provides a wide array of telecommunications systems integration services. In 2006 it was estimated that the company earned $78 million in revenue.
Ladies and gents, if this doesn’t make you warm on the inside, run to your nearest hospital to get your pulse taken. It feels so good to see a successful African-American man give back to those in need. Thank you, Mr. Stafford, for setting a wonderful example for all Americans.
Isn’t this great? Let me know how you feel.

This is wonderful and I am so glad that you have posted this story. I am overwhelmed by the small and large acts that people have done since Barack Obama has been named the elect. Hats off!!!!
This is all in God’s will. He has a seat with Jesus.
Very nice story, I only wish it were on other national news stations and websites as well. You are a wonderful man Mr. Stafford and very much respected. Thanks for your kindness.
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AS YOU BLESS OTHERS. OBAMA ROCKS!!!!! ( ST. THOMAS,VI )
Thank you, Mr Stafford and God has truly bless you to help others!
Wow!
Is me or does it seem like the good deeds of black men always go under the radar of mainstram media.
Thanks BET for sharing this with us and telling the world!
donvey lindsey luvin it, way to go
I think he is a blessing to these vets. I don’t think any of these so called movie stars, that walk out of their homes and see homeless people on the street everyday cared that much. These billionaires, need to feed more of the homeless vets. I don’t know the man but i think he is great.
This is living proof that blacks are giving back to the community. For those of you who want to be like Earl, get an education because you too can be as dangerous and scary as Earl Stafford. Think about it.
GOD BLESS MR. STAFFORD FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT THING AND I HOPE THEY ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME
