Black Americans spend 200 billion dollars a year. If they were a nation, they would be the ninth largest economic power on earth. Afro Americans are economic hemophiliacs who have just been scratched: only three cents out of every dollar spent goes to black-owned businesses. Ninety-seven percent of the 200 billion dollars goes to non-black corporations. Knowing who black business owners are, and what they are doing to help more enter their ranks, is important. Perhaps after we see a sharp increase in black ownership we will start to see the curtailment of high unemployment rates, high poverty rates, and high drug use and crime. For this reason it is necessary to see positive black role models in the business world who have succeeded against all odds and prevailed.
