BLACK HAIR
EMPIRE
The Untold Story of How Black Hair...Became Black Power
Black Hair Empire is the untold story of the rise and unceremonious demise of the $500 billion dollar ethnic hair care industry once dominated by African Americans, from post-slavery to the current day. It is the saga of four generations of African-Americans who forged their imprint into American business, their influence upon popular culture, and the fight for racial equality and economic parity.
“We Blacks elevate people to leadership on the basis of the struggle for racial equality, whereas leadership in other communities rests with the business people, those who productively contribute to the prosperity of the group.” S.B Fuller
