Abstract:
In the period after the Civil War, 1865-1890, some Afro-Americans in the Piedmont made substantial progress in the business world, with businesses rising from 9 to 104. Types of business included skilled trades, services, and mercantile. Durham was one of the most flourishing cities, with 110 black-owned businesses opening between 1890 and 1915. Berry O'Kelly and Warren C. Coleman were two of the most successful businessmen of the period.
