I See Black People: The Rise and Fall of African American-Owned Televi $4 DIVII See Black People/Iis a narrative history of the behind-the-scenes politics of black television and radio ownership, including the stories of the failure of the Black Famlly Channel, The World African Network, and Russell Simmons Fabulous TV, as well as that of Catherine Hughes, who’d aggressively acquired radio stations, becoming the first black woman to head a firm that publicly traded on the stock exchange. While securing its place in the marketplace, the company is now 20 percent black owned. By offering insights into the failure of public policy that have impeded black access to ownership through the last thirty years, the author explores that current state of black media and questions its direction./DIVDIVWhy are so few radio and television stations currently owned by African Americans? brbrThe airwaves are public resources; they belong to the people. And yet minorities, who form 33 percent of the population, control only 3 percent of the broadcast media. African Americans own less than 1 percent of all television station in the country. How did we reach this point? brbriIn I See Black People,/ijournalist Kristal Brent Zook talks with the people who have struggled to retain an independent voice within the media despite the consolidations that have swept through the industry. Zook tells the story of Dorothy Brunson, one of the first African American women to own a radio station in America, and Catherine Liggins Hughes who faced overwhelming challenges establishing Radio One but ultimately became the first black woman in the country to own a publicly traded company. Set against these rare examples of success are people like Robert Short, who lost his Syracuse station in 2000 and describes the negative impact that this had on his local community. And Chauncey Bailey, who made it his life’s work to bring local African American programming to Oakland, California, but was tragically murdered earlier this year while @

African American Economic Development and Small Business Ownership $179.64 Starting with the traditions of African American economic systems perpetuated during and after slavery to create their own institutions and enterprises, this study also reviews contemporary major policy initiatives intended to promote African American business ownership. The author uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods to examine the topic and to debunk the myth that African Americans do not have a history of entrepreneurship.PThe quantitative research in this book is unique in that it provides a detailed analysis of national samples of African American owned and white-owned businesses by industry and region. These industries include professional services; finance, insurance and real estate; manufacturing; and wholesaling. Characteristics of these firms and their owners are assessed to determine which ones are related to business survival. The study finds that the two key factors for achieving business success in African American-owned firms in these industries are the amount of the initial financial investment and the fact that the owner has graduated from college. For white-owned firms, the only factor that was found to be consistently important was start-up capital.PFinally, the book sets forth recommendations for policymakers based on the findings of this study and on a comprehensive understanding of the history and dynamics of African American enterprises.
