Summary "Although Black Americans make up approximately 14 percent of the US population, Black Americans own only two percent of businesses. A major obstacle for Black-owned businesses is the lack of access to money, which is due to historical and systemic factors, such as racism and discrimination. Despite obstacles, Black Americans have demonstrated resilience and creativity in the business world"-- Provided by publisher.
