The History of Black Business in America

The only comprehensive survey of Black business development to date, Juliet E. K. Walker's study moves past depersonalized accounts of nameless blacks to tell triumphant stories of people like Frederick Douglas Patterson, the first Black automaker. This unique history corrects the long held assumption that African Americans lack entrepreneurial traditions.
