Earl Graves said it. Whether people received his words via his uplifting public speeches, his award-winning Publisher’s Page magazine column, or his national bestselling, now classic business book How To Succeed in Business Without Being White: Straight Talk On Making It In America, the founder of Black Enterprise earned a level of trust comparable to—and often far greater than—that enjoyed by American presidents. The consensus is all but unanimous: If Earl Graves said it, you not only can believe it—you can count on it.
