Black Fortunes: The Story of the First Six African Americans Who Escaped Slavery and Became Millionaires by Shomari Wills
3.0
Black Fortunes is about the first African American entrepreneurs who defied immense odds, becoming millionaires post-slavery. It’s an interesting and informative read…that needs an editor.
Shomari Wills’ research isn’t presented in a way that allows you to keep up with all six figures effortlessly because his writing randomly moves about. There isn’t a clear flow so you have to do the work... Unless you’re annotating or taking notes, you’ll end up forgetting things about each person as the book moves along.
