Description: "In the Black tells the heroic stories of intrepid pioneers who battled against overwhelming odds to prove that they had the intelligence, ambition, and drive to succeed in the heady world of high finance. Author Gregory Bell, the son of Wall Street pioneer Travers Bell, introduces you to scores of unsung heroes whose vision and tenacity opened doors for many who were to follow.".

"You'll meet H.R. George, whose success as a speculator in the 1920s earned him the nickname "The Black Wolf of Wall Street"; Thorvald McGregor and Lawrence L. Lewis, the first African Americans to become registered security dealers; and June Middletone, who, in the early 1960s, became the only female African-American stockbroker employed by a New York Stock Exchange member firm. You'll also read the compelling story of Joseph L.

Serales, the first African-American member of the New York Stock Exchange."--BOOK JACKET.
