This two-volume set showcases the achievements of African American
entrepreneurs and the various businesses that they founded,
developed, or promote as well as the accomplishments of many
African American leaders-both those whose work is well-known and
other achievers who have been neglected in history. Nearly everyone
is familiar with New York City's Wall Street, a financial center of
the world, but much fewer individuals know about the black Wall
Streets in Durham and Tulsa, where prominent examples of successful
African American leaders emerged. Encyclopedia of African American
Business: Updated and Revised Edition tells the fascinating story
that is the history of African American business, providing readers
with an inspiring image of the economic power of black people
throughout their existence in the United States. It continues the
historical account of developments in the African American business
community and its leaders, describing the period from 18th-century
America to the present day. The book describes current business
leaders, opens a fuller and deeper insight into the topics chosen,
and includes numerous statistical tables within the text and in a
separate section at the back of the book. The encyclopedia is
arranged under three broad headings: Entry List, Topical Entry
List, and Africa American Business Leaders by Occupation. This
arrangement introduces readers to the contents of the work and
enables them to easily find information about specific individuals,
topics, or occupations. The book will appeal to students from high
school through graduate school as well as researchers, library
directors, business enterprises, and anyone interested in
biographical information on African Americas who are business
leaders will benefit from the work. Provides a broad overview of
