At a time when black-owned businesses are growing faster than ever, affirmative action programs are under attack. This book demonstrates how public and private affirmative action programs have catalyzed a new generation of black entrepreneurs, examining their growth, diversification, changing profile and employment practice. Thomas D. Boston uses Atlanta as a case study in success for the entire country. The defining study of black-owned business in the US, "Affirmative Action and Black Entrepreneurship" proves conclusively that opportunity matters.
