It's a given that our jails are disproportionally full of Black people who are more apt to be charged, convicted and sentenced to a longer prison term than any other racial or ethnic group in America. Black male offenders are incarcerated in prisons at nearly 5 times the rate of white Americans and serve prison sentences 19% longer than white defenders found guilty of the same crimes.

Yet, less discussed in the corridors of Main Justice and Wall Street is that Black entrepreneurs face the same bias and injustice.
