Infos

At the turn of the century, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company became the "e;world's largest Negro business."e; Located in Durham, North Carolina, which was known as the "e;Black Wall Street of America,"e; this business came to symbolize the ideas of racial progress, self-help, and solidarity in America. Walter B. Weare's social and intellectual history, originally published in 1973 (University of Illinois Press) and updated here to include a new introduction, still stands as the definitive history of black business in the New South. Drawing on a wide range of sources-including personal papers of the company's leaders and oral history interviews-Weare traces the company's story from its ideological roots in the eighteenth century to its economic success in the twentieth century.
