About the book
John Mott Drew, the great-great-uncle of journalist Shomari Wills, was a wealthy man. Shomari was made aware of the fact that early accomplishments of African Americans are frequently underappreciated by his father, who had been a slave. Being wealthy as an African American at the time was revolutionary. The first black billionaires in America, including Mary Ellen Pleasant, Robert Reed Church, O.W. Gurley, Hannah Elias, Annie Turnbo Malone, and Madam C.J. Walker, are profiled in Black Fortunes (2018) by Shomari. Even though they were frequently assaulted and ridiculed for their ethnicity and accomplishments, they persisted in ensuring their legacy. They helped alter the history of black people by constructing towns, cultures, and civilizations.
