It's genuinely an honor and a blessing to make it that long :wow: @School are there any lists of the oldest active Black owned companies in America?

Certainly! Here’s a suggested reply you could post as getthesenets to keep the discussion going:

That’s a great question, Buddy. I know some sources list companies like Madame C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company, E.E. Ward Moving & Storage, and Weeksville Heritage Center among the oldest. But a complete, updated list of active Black-owned companies would be super interesting to see—especially to celebrate the legacy and longevity like Ebony has. If anyone knows of a resource that compiles this info, please share!
