Emmy Award-nominated journalist David Montero follows the trail of the massive wealth amassed by Northern corporations throughout America’s history of enslavement. It has long been maintained by many that the North wasn’t complicit in the horrors of slavery. The truth, however, is that large Northern banks were critical to the financing of slavery; that they saw their fortunes rise dramatically from their involvement in the business of enslavement; and that white business leaders and their surrounding communities created enormous wealth from the enslavement and abuse of Black bodies.

Enlightening
Revisado: 04-13-24
The exposure of the generational wealth amassed through the money laundering schemes by white men is almost paralyzing. For years I have heard people speak of the brutality on the plantation by the slavers, but the enabling by northern businessmen is equally brutal. The fact that I recognize names and have dined with heirs of the men (unknowingly) that built these corporations is disturbing. Reparations will remain challenging when the descendants and beneficiaries have sworn an oath to white supremacy. The fact that they hide in plain sight is unnerving. I thoroughly enjoy the book.

From Jackie Robinson to Muhammad Ali and Arthur Ashe, African American athletes have been at the center of modern culture, their on-the-field heroics admired and stratospheric earnings envied. But for all their money, fame, and achievement, says former New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden, Black athletes still find themselves on the periphery of true power in the multibillion-dollar industry their talent built. Provocative and controversial, Rhoden's Forty Million Dollar Slaves weaves a compelling narrative of Black athletes in the United States.

Black ownership is the ONLY way
Revisado: 09-20-23
I found this book by William C. Rhoden enlightening. It was trip through history. Some stories I knew and some I did not know. The back stories were especially good. The effect of the perceived progress contrasted with reality showed me that as black people in America we still have a lot of work to do. The slave mentality still persists in our community. We have been divided and conquered through integration. I speak in the past tense simply because we have yet to realize the power of unity. Thank you for your insight and the answer to the question of what will it take for us to reach our desired place in this country. That being unified ownership of businesses for black people by black people.
