Показать описание
Anthony Overton was a pioneering African American entrepreneur, banker, and manufacturer. Born on March 21, 1865, in Monroe, Louisiana, he became the first African American to lead a major business conglomerate. Overton founded the Overton Hygienic Manufacturing Company, which produced cosmetics and other products tailored for African American consumers. He also established the Douglass National Bank, the second nationally chartered black-owned bank in the United States.

Overton’s business ventures included the Half-Century Magazine and the Chicago Bee newspaper, both of which played significant roles in promoting civil rights and supporting the African American community. His achievements earned him numerous accolades, including the NAACP’s Spingarn Medal in 1927.
