In 1974, Winters testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Children and Youth that he was the founder of an operation called “Youth Incentives,” which used poor black youths to sell candy door-to-door. No federal child labor legislation were passed as a result of the hearings. Now 10 years later, Winters’ operations pull in a reported $10 million a year.
