Dr. Claud Anderson traces how Black labor — enslaved and free — built America's wealth while law and policy systematically excluded Black people from ownership, capital, land, and the full fruits of their work. Moving from slavery through Jim Crow to the present, he argues that economic power, not protest alone, is the path to justice. Published by his PowerNomics Corporation of America in 1994, the book laid the historical foundation for his later PowerNomics national plan.
