Fueling Economic Rebirth of Black Business | History & Legacy of Black Entrepreneurship in the U.S.
For this talk of the Fall 2021 semester of the History & Legacy of Black Entrepreneurship in the United States, Dr. John S. Butler will discuss his own work, Entrepreneurship and Self-Help Among Black Americans: A Reconsideration of Race and Economics, to compare Black Americans with other self-help entrepreneurial groups which adopted the entrepreneurial model for adjustment to American Society. Using historical and present data, this presentation examines the contribution of black entrepreneurship to the continuous re-birth of people of means, shopkeepers, or the black bourgeoisie.
Join the conversation as we bring together scholars and academics from institutions around the country to share out their research in a discussion-based forum. By studying the history of Black entrepreneurship and innovation, we can gain an understanding of the creative strategies these entrepreneurs employed to succeed.
