Born a sharecropper in rural Alabama in 1930, Theodore A. (Ted)
Mack, Sr., fought in the Korean War and defied the odds by playing
football at Ohio State and earning a college degree. Brewing and
selling beer, he believed, would be just another peak to summit.
After all, it couldn't be more challenging than his experience in
organizing buses to the March on Washington or picketing segregated
schools in Milwaukee. This is the story of Mack's purchase of
Peoples Brewing Company in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Though he had
carefully planned for the historic acquisition, he underestimated
the subtle bigotry of middle America, the corruption of the beer
industry, and the failures of the Federal Government that plagued
his ownership. Mack's ownership of Peoples Brewing is an
inspirational story of Black entrepreneurship, innovation and pride
at a time when America was at an important racial justice
crossroads.
