This is volume 44 of my monthly column entitled “Black Dollars Matter.” As I point out each month, this column is generally designed to compel Philadelphia’s major predominantly white-owned and white-led businesses to treat Black applicants/employees/businesses and Black consumers with respect. But, more important, it is also designed to convince Black people in Philadelphia to “do for self” economically because money talks and BS walks.
However, in this volume, not only am I going well beyond Blacks in this city, but I am also going back in time 100 years ago to the decade that includes 1925.
