Trailer, 'BOSS: The Black Experience in Business,' premiers on PBS TV and online, April 23, 2019.
The history of business and entrepreneurship lies at the heart of the American story, but often absent are the names and experiences of African Americans who, from the country’s earliest days, have embodied the qualities of innovation, risk-taking and determination to forge a path toward a better life – which is at the heart of the American entrepreneurial spirit.

In depth program on the rise of black owned enterprises from late 19th century America to business professionals hired by corporations in the late 1970s and 1908s, and beyond. Features leaders and executives Maynard Jackson, Vernon Jordan, Black Enterprise's Earl Graves, Robert F. Smith of Vista Equity, and Arlan Hamilton of Backstage Capital.
