Join WNET/THIRTEEN and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for a special preview of highlights from Boss: The Black Experience in Business, directed by Peabody and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson. This new documentary traces the lives of African American entrepreneurs over 150 years, from those bound by bondage to moguls at the top of million-dollar empires.
From the country’s earliest days, African Americans have embodied the qualities of innovation, risk-taking and determination to forge a path toward a better life. Stories featured in the film include those of entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker, publisher John H. Johnson, Motown CEO Berry Gordy, and business pioneer and philanthropist Reginald F. Lewis, among others. More details can be found at the official Schomburg site:
