Documentary - Boss: The Black Experience in Business

In honor of Black Business Month, join us for a documentary tracing the lives of African American entrepreneurs over 150 years.

In Boss: The Black Experience in Business, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson takes us on a journey from the end of Reconstruction through the present, tracing the emergence of a stable Black business community alongside the greater struggle for civil rights.

Notable historians and scholars help tell the story, and there are new interviews with many notable business leaders.

This free event received funding support from the Friends of the Menlo Park Library.
