I am a mixed woman ( black + Colombian) it affects me on a daily basis seeing woman in the media, that are trying to be an exact replication of our culture.
Alonzo Franklin Herndon was an African-American entrepreneur and businessman in Atlanta, Georgia. Born into slavery, he became one of the first African-American millionaires in the United States, first achieving success by owning and operating three large barber shops in the city that served prominent white men.
In the United States, it was largely "white land-holding men" who controlled vast wealth and many businesses and had great influence on US finances during this time, since they had the most political power as well.
