Finding The New Black Wall Street (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798899013669)

Told by the voiceless geniuses of African American businessmen and women in the 19th and 20th century, Finding the New Black Wall Street is a story of black business leadership and excellence in the face of systematic oppression. The book tells the personal stories of African Americans who pioneered economic and social change for their people; we learn relevant strategies that we can tool our businesses with today. Their stories make up the framework for the chapters in the manuscript. For example, known as the African American father of Business Management, C.C. Spaulding in 1927 would write in the Pittsburgh Courier (a widely read African American newspaper) the article "The Administration of Big Business". His principles serve as a guide to the reader, giving a real and unique perspective of Black Wall Street. Mr. Spaulding and many other social entrepreneurs bet on their people, hired from their community and created a middle and upper class of African Americans.
