The astonishing untold history of America’s first black
millionaires—former slaves who endured incredible challenges to
amass and maintain their wealth for a century, from the
Jacksonian period to the Roaring Twenties—self-made
entrepreneurs whose unknown success mirrored that of American
business heroes such as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and
Thomas Edison. A fresh, little-known chapter in the nation’s
story—A blend of Hidden Figures, Titan, and The Tycoons—Black
Fortunes illuminates the birth of the black business titan and
the emergence of the black marketplace in America as never
before.
