A legitimate buisness that just happened to be illegal,what exactly is that?

In most cities there were self contained African American self supporting legitimate business communities that did rather well.

Until they slammed freeways through them and in the seventies the number runners found more profit in heroin.

There are millions of African Americans that did really well in those years and made contributions that last even today, in spite of it all,the way it sounds today is like everybody was a slave until 1980 at least.

Does anybody know who first retro fitted the box cars and trucks with refrigeration that changed the country from ice blocks to interstate commence.

It was an African American that was hired as a truck washer with no education that came up with a design that directly changed the daily lives of millions of Americans,there are a lot of positive roll models out there that also deserve recognition and not just the gangsters and all of the bad that has happened.
