BLACK HISTORY MONTH
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Celebrating Black History we recognize an outstanding Black entrepreneur. When Howard Johnson dared to dream to publish a magazine that would reflect the culture and achievements of Black Americans and some in other countries he hit a roadblock. He had no money.
Upon application of a loan from the bank he learned that that service was not granted to Blacks at that time. He pawned his mother's furniture and Black mega-company was born. Ebony Magazine sold millions annually and created employment for many.
The magazine continues it's publication 76 years after it's founding. Mr. Johnson died in 2005.
We salute a great Black entrepreneur.
