5 Ways to Take Our Power Back
During the years between 1900 to 1930, we entered what historian Juliette Walker called the “Golden age of black business” — the number Black-owned businesses doubled from 20,000 in 1900 and 40,000 in 1914. Segregation forced Black customers to spend their money at Black-owned stores.
