the Mission Houston Black Book is presenting Houston area African Americans with a thoroughfare in which their unabridged spending power is sprinkled with choice. This directory will act as a stage in progression in which economic efﬁcacy is inevitable. As strong as the image of the black ﬁst, this directory places pride and power in the palm of its constituent’s hands. Not to be undermined or misrepresented, Houston Black Book is a binding force to thousands of like-minded respectable individuals and organizations that will provide your day-to-day needs.

from the Oﬃce of the Mayor Greetings, As mayor of Houston, I send regards to the readers of the new Houston Black Book African American Business Directory, created by CBA Media, LLC, and citizens in our community. There are many reasons we’ve been the fastest growing major U.S. city over the last several decades, and the success of many small businesses shows that Houston is a great city of opportunity. To maintain Houston’s position in the global marketplace, businesses must have available resources and information to help them succeed and grow. This guide will provide a directory listing of African-American owned and operated businesses. It is aimed at creating a feeling of uniformity and solidarity within the community. Along with our vibrant cultural and arts scene, world-class sports, and energetic economy, our diverse neighborhoods make the nation’s fourth-largest city a great place to live, work and play. Houston is a city of great opportunity and the African-American community is a vital part of our diversity, our energy and our Houston spirit. Sincerely,

Bill White Alcalde

from Harris County Precinct One On behalf of the OfďŹ ce of Harris County Commissioner Precsinct One, it is indeed a pleasure to share in support of the creation and distribution of the 2007 Houston Black Book African American Business Directory. Your efforts to assist in providing a viable choice of minority business contact services, thus bringing empowerments within Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s African American communities, are commendable. Not only is there a need for such a directory of African American area owned and operated businesses, but also for the utilization of its services that would greatly help to empower both the Houston minority communities in particular, and othere area communities, in general. Congratulations are extended for a most successful and comprehensive commuinity and business enterprise. Sincerely,

El Franco Lee Harris County Commissioner Precinct One /dmlw

hold history in your hands Few ethnic Americans have received the honor of having a commemorative coin. We have discovered two commemorative half dollars featuring George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington. George Washington Carver is known for developing innovative uses for a variety of agricultural crops such as peanuts, soybeans and sweet potatoes. He was also an accomplished musician, artist, orator, athletic trainer and student leader. Carver’s ﬁrst coin was issued from 1951 to 1954. The face of the coin is a bust of George W. Carver and Booker T. Washington. The words, “George Carver - Liberty - Booker T. Washington and United States of America” are around the rim of the coin. Booker T. Washington was an American educator, public speaker and organizer and former principal of a college in Tuskegee, Ala., now known as Tuskegee University. Washington’s coin was ﬁrst issued from 1946 to 1951. The face of the coin is a bust of Washington and the words around the rim read “Booker T. Washington, United States of America” and “E. Pluribus Unum” - Latin for “Out of Many One.” Our goal is to contribute to our collective awareness of the many honors that have been bestowed on African Americans. Our contributions have helped America grow. These coins are a piece of black history. By simply holding these coins, we hold pieces of history in our hands.

“When Death Interrupts” Death is not an ending of life but an interruption. It is a monumental occasion when loved ones are called to reﬂect and remember. The death of a prominent and constant existence is a tactile that extends to us all. Death then becomes an ordered disruption of uniformity and continuity but not an ending. As our hearts cradle death we must pan for the ability to accept, console and continue living in an absence.

Thank God for Reagan Reagan accidentally freed the slaves again, Making us realize we must pull together to win. He wrote into law what many whites felt, The people of color were acquiring too much wealth, The mistreatment and controls can’t keep us down, `Cause God gave us the desire to climb to higher ground. Take our homes, give our children drugs to keep them high, Kick them out of school, making them not want to try. Cutting college loans, lay off from jobs, racism is here, Reagan put laws in place to let us know the real deal. Thank God for Reagan. He freed the salves again, If blacks don’t pull together, we will never win. Seek economic empowerment, produce our own thoughts, Using our talents, the bloodiest battles have been fought. Martin and Malcolm X died trying to show us the way, Stop waiting for the whites to give us a new day. LET’S STOP PUTTING EACH OTHER DOWN. Working together we can turn things around. — words by thelma williams www.myspace.com/thelmawms7101

Black Wall Street

Little Africa, Champion of the African American Entrepreneurial Spirit www.daveyd.com/blackwallpolitic.html words by abel meeropol

In the 1900’s Tulsa, Oklahoma was the land of milk and honey for north Tulsa African American residents. Jim Crow laws and segregation limited African Americans to the north side of town for transacting business and living accommodations. As a result according to Reuben Gant, President of the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, “Black folks found it necessary to create a city within a city.” Over 300 African American businesses were developed for that purpose. It became the most afﬂuent African American neighborhood in the nation.

“Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

BLACK WALL STREET was the most triumphant picture of African American entrepreneurial success ever known. It’s impenetrable infrastructure was the key to its financial success. In the ‘city within a city’ there were beauty salons, barber shops, an ice cream parlor, hotel, two movie theaters and other professional offices. The community consisted of 30 grocery stores, a hospital, bank, post office, 21 churches, and 21 restaurants that serviced approximately 11,000 African American residents. These residents included doctors, lawyers, PhDs, farmers and numerous entrepreneurs. Six African American entrepreneurs owned private airplanes and one of the local doctors, Dr. Simon Berry, developed the city’s first jitney (bus) system. It was later sold to the city of Tulsa with the promise that African Americans would still be able to ride and drive the transit service. As a result of Dr. Berry’s entrepreneurial spirit, his income averaged approximately $500 a day. Ron Wallace, co-author of Black Wallstreet: A Lost Dream Chronicles, stated that the dollar circulated in “Little Africa”, 36 to 1000 times, sometimes taking up to a year to leave the community.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop.”

BLACK WALL STREET was comprised of a total of 36 square blocks where the main means of public access was Greenwood Avenue. This is why the area is currently known as the Greenwood District. The Tulsa oil boom and the agricultural proﬁciency of local area farmers contributed to the building of the wealthiest African American entrepreneurial based city in America. However in the twinkling of an eye this all changed.

Roland was acquitted and later moved to Kansas City. After the riot the city of Tulsa passed a fire code ordinance that stated that all subsequent building projects were required to use fire retardant materials. Their main goal and objective was to stop the rebuilding of Black Wall Street. The motivation to move African Americans out of the area included making North Tulsa an industrial area and to stop the residents from reaping the benefits of

Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning ﬂesh.

On June 1, 1921, a white lady alleged that a black man by the name of Dick Roland accosted her in a Tulsa hotel elevator. It was common practice by the local Ku Klux Klan to lynch a Black male on Friday evening for entertainment. Rather than see Roland hung, 50 to 75 Black men from Little Africa took it upon themselves to go to the sheriff’s department to demand justice. A shot was ﬁred and the riot started. Eye witnessed by a host of approximately 2,000 white Tulsa residents who gathered on the outskirts of Little Africa for the entertainment value of the event, the burning and killing began. In a matter of two days it was destroyed and over 3,000 African Americans were dead. The lyrics of Billie Holiday’s sad melody, Strange Fruit, was most likely birthed in the hearts of the residents of Black Wall Street as they later recalled the total decimation of their community.

the Tulsa oil boom. B. C. (Buck Colbert) Franklin, a local lawyer, challenged the ordinance for new construction before the Oklahoma Supreme Court and it was revoked. He was the father of John Hope Franklin, a United States historian, past president of the American Historical Association, Professor Emeritus of History at Duke University, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the John W. Kluge Prize. Black Wall Street was rebuilt to be bigger and better than before to the tune of over 400 African American owned businesses in the 1930s and 40s. It was at this time that the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and the Greenwood Business District was formed by a group of North Tulsa businessmen who spearheaded this initiative. In the late 1950s, it faced another crippling blow from desegregation and urban renewal. North Tulsa residents and businesses began to move out of the area during desegregation taking the African American dollar with them. The city of Tulsa also built an expressway right in the middle of the Greenwood District. In the early 1980s the president of the Greenwood Chamber applied for funding, in partnership with the city, to refurbish the remaining ten historic buildings on the south side of the expressway. These buildings now house 15 African American based businesses and 22 diverse tenant-based establishments and are owned by the Greenwood Chamber. Currently there are 11 acres of vacant land adjacent to the Greenwood District that the chamber is proposing to redevelop to bring vitality back into the area. Their goal according to Mr. Gant is to create a connection between another historic locality called Brady District and to construct a pedestrian link to the area for Oklahoma State University and Langston University students, faculty, and visitors. In March 2007 they expect to break ground for a museum called John Hope Franklin’s Museum of Reconciliation. Ed Dwight, America’s first black astronaut trainee and renowned sculptor, has been commissioned to sculpt a commendatory piece for the museum called Tower of Reconciliation. They also have plans for building a hotel to accommodate tourist traffic and more offices and residential spaces. President Gant said that “We are on the move, preparing ourselves for an upswing in activity, by creating a point of destination for tourism based on our rich history, rioting the spirit of entrepreneurship and cultivating cultural connectivity in our community.” The Greenwood District is a vibrant example of the true spirit of entrepreneurial resurrection that lies in the hearts of African Americans who believe in the value of their community, past present and future. If history is a precursor of the future they will do just that.

Frenchy’s—a true Houston Legacy… Percy “Frenchy” Creuzot opened Frenchy’s Po-Boy in 1969 on Scott Street, the ﬁrst enterprise the family undertook. In the beginning Frenchy’s Po-Boy sandwiches were the main menu item. Today, the menu has grown to include their famous seasoned chicken, King Ro Rotisserie Chicken, mouthwatering sides, and home-made desserts. Two locations carry the name of Frenchy’s now in addition to Frenchy’s Sausage Company, which was originally created by Percy Creuzot, Jr. (a.k.a “Frenchy”) to produce chaurice, a Creole hot sausage, for his restaurant. As the demand for chaurice grew beyond the restaurant’s needs, Frenchy encouraged his son, Percy III (a.k.a “King”), to join him in 1977. Today, Frenchy’s Sausage Company has grown from a small sausage manufacturer to diversiﬁed corporation manufacturing a product line of food specializing in Creole cooking. Frenchy has retired, and now Percy III is running the family business. FSCI is a family business that is dedicated to producing authentic Creole products with the same attention to quality and detail that company founder Frenchy strongly believed in.

The last word from the Publisher.

I sincerely hope that after perusing these pages you are as excited as I am with this debut of the Houston Black Book. We could not, of course, showcase the entire collection of Houston’s black-owned businesses the very ﬁrst year — that will come eventually through trust and consistency. However, between these covers you have seen highlights of the growing number of prosperous black-owned businesses from accountants to youth organizations. From this year forward, we will be committed to delivering the entire collection of Houston’s black-owned and operated businesses to its citizens and visitors who want to do business with them. I’m sure you agree that the roster of business owners included in the book is second to none. We championed the “Black Wall Street” of the early 1920s for a reason … it is our expectation that this can happen again, and that Houston is poised to become the icon of an upwardly mobile and thriving Black America. It is time that we show the city, state and the nation that we can stand together in uniformity and solidarity. Whether you are in need of professional services, looking for an entertaining scene, or searching for a tasty repast, we hope that this book has succeeded in offering you a variety of options. Thanks for your support, and we’ll be black next year! Sincerely,

Craig L. Amos - McClure clamos@houstonblackbook.com
