About the event

The purpose of this exhibit is to create the very first Digital Civil Rights Business and Cultural

Heritage Trail Exhibits at the International Black Business Museum. Our goal is to identify

entrepreneurs and their historic business and cultural sites that are significant in chronicling the

history and culture of Black-owned businesses in the United States during their struggle for civil

rights, political freedoms, and economic rights in the 1950s and 1960s.

We will examine the relationships that were forged between black entrepreneurs/inventors with

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights activists during the Civil Rights Era. We

examine the various ways in which they supported the Civil Rights Movement.
