This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
From the first days of Emancipation to the modern Black entrepreneur, Black American Wealth takes readers on a powerful journey through the financial history of Black America. This deeply researched and emotionally charged book exposes the forgotten truth: Black Americans have always strived for economic independence—and often succeeded—despite facing systemic oppression, racial violence, and intentional barriers at every turn. In this compelling narrative, author Oliver E. Robinson traces the roots of Black wealth from land ownership and early Black millionaires to the rise—and destruction—of thriving Black communities like Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Rosewood, and Wilmington. The book explores the forces that interrupted generational wealth, including redlining, government sabotage, mass incarceration, and economic exclusion. But this is not just a history of struggle—it’s a blueprint for empowerment. Black American Wealth also highlights the modern resurgence of Black wealth-builders, financial educators, and investors who are reclaiming economic power through stocks, entrepreneurship, group economics, and smart planning. More than a book—it’s a call to action, a reminder of legacy, and a roadmap for the future.
