Black Fortunes: The Story of the First Six African Americans Who Survived Slavery and Became Millionaires by Shomari Wills

4.0

I enjoyed learning about the first BLACK millionaires after slavery. As an African American woman, it is important to know these facts of history. The book outlined exactly how each person was able to become successful as well as all obstacles that they had to face. I gave the book 4 stars because I did not like the order in which the book was written. A person is introduced in one chapter and then a few chapters later, the same person is being highlighted again. I would have preferred to get 2-3 consecutive chapters on each person than every other few chapters. All in all, a great and important read.
