Preferred term

African Americans and entrepreneurship  

Definition

  • Prior to Emancipation, slave and free African Americans (AAs) started and ran successful businesses. Events of the last century, such as the Great Migration north and the modernization of the American industry, created traditionally lower AA participation in entrepreneurship, and much of the history of successful AA entrepreneurs has been lost.
