Documentary - Boss: The Black Experience in Business

In honor of Black Business Month, join us for a documentary tracing the lives of African American entrepreneurs over 150 years.

In Boss: The Black Experience in Business, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson takes us on a journey from the end of Reconstruction through the present, tracing the emergence of a stable Black business community alongside the greater struggle for civil rights.

Notable historians and scholars help tell the story, and there are new interviews with many notable business leaders.
