The closest person African Americans have to Alexander Hamilton is Whitney Young Jr.  The National Urban League director accomplished great feats.  He created the Domestic Marshall Plan.  He negotiated over 40,000 corporate jobs for Black people during the Civil Rights struggle.  Although important, these achievements don’t come close to his Genius as a builder of people.  He created a platform where a man can build his own engine to drive himself to success.  Every action you perform to build a business is protected by the laws of capital formation.  Before 1964 we were not privy to these laws, thus Black Wall Street destruction would be still happening today.  Thank this magnificent virtuoso for installing corporate language in the Civil Rights Bill during a time he was highly ridiculed.  He opened the door for our future.  Whitney Young Jr  Technical Genius 1960’s
