Negro Business in Kalamazoo
Abstract
The primary purpose
of this paper is to present a consolidated report of the Negro business
men and women in Kalamazoo in the hope that through various
channels, the young Negro will be aware that there are members of his
race that are able to be independent of state aide, and other means
of unearned support.
The second purpose of the paper is to present to the White population
of the Kalamazoo area facts about Negro business, many of which
are unknown to many of the white population. When the many whites
are aware of the various Negro business, there is the possibility that
their sophisticated stereotypes of the Negro might be somewhat
changed.
