ENTREPRENEURS CAN AND HAVE CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY:
Since ancient civilizations in Africa --and up until modern times, Black people (aka: Negroes, African-Americans, Nubians, etc.) have contributed to the development of civilization via the creation and invention of millions of products, machines, and gadgets that have made life a lot easier.
This is one of the major reasons that Black people (and others) must learn to be entrepreneurs--- in order to improve their situations in life.
The following is a list of some of those inventions and contributions:
