We can't talk about Black History without mentioning the Heroes of the black communities.
The ones who don't wear a cape but are with us day in and day out. They are the men and women in churches, small businesses, schools, and everywhere you look.
Because these heroes often don't like to be in the spotlight, they are often overlooked by the public.
That doesn't mean they aren't some of the most special people on the planet in my eyes.
They are our Mentors 🙏🏾
These three men mentored me and changed my life. They are not related to me, they did not know me until I was almost 20 years old, and they didn't know each other until I introduced them a couple of years back.
Mr Case is no longer with us, but Uncle Ralph, aka and Charles Fisher, aka are still here and mentoring more future sharks.
They invested their time and faith in me to help mold me into the man I am today. They taught me how to stay out of trouble. They also taught me always to pay it forward and invest in others as they invested in me.
That drive they instilled in me landed me on Shark Tank, where I am now fortunate enough to invest in those of all colors, creeds, and genders in search of the American Dream.
I would not have known the power of investing in others if it wasn't for these three amazing black men.
Reasons like this are why I always say that Black History Month is American History Month. So don't forget to call a past mentor of yours. Just to tell them thank you 🇺🇸🙏🏾🇺🇸🙏🏾
Have a great week ahead.

The executive order challenges the long-settled interpretation of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause.

If permitted, Trump's executive order would end U.S. citizenship from the children of undocumented immigrants or immigrants whose presence in the U.S. is lawful but temporary. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/8T2gua

C.R Patterson, Born Slave, Built Automobiles Before Henry Ford
The C.R. Patterson & Sons Company was a carriage building firm, and the first African American-owned automobile manufacturer. The company was founded by Charles Richard Patterson, who was born into slavery in April 1833 on a plantation in Virginia. His parents were Nancy and Charles Patterson. Patterson escaped from slavery in 1861, heading west and settling in Greenfield, Ohio around 1862.
At some point after his arrival in Ohio, Patterson went to work as a blacksmith for the carriage-building business, Dines and Simpson. In 1865 he married Josephine Utz, and had five children from 1866 to 1879. In 1873, Patterson went into partnership with J.P. Lowe, another Greenfield-based carriage manufacturer. Over the next twenty years, Patterson and Lowe developed a highly successful carriage-building business.
In 1893 Patterson bought out J.P. Lowe’s share of the business and reorganized it as C.R. Patterson & Sons Company. The company built 28 types of horse-drawn vehicles and employed approximately 10-15 individuals. While the company managed to successfully market its equine-powered carriages and buggies, the dawn of the automobile was rapidly approaching.
Charles Patterson died in 1910, leaving the successful carriage business to his son Frederick who in turn initiated the conversion of the company from a carriage business into an automobile manufacturer. The first Patterson-Greenfield car debuted in 1915 and was sold for $850. With a four-cylinder Continental engine, the car was comparable to the contemporary Ford Model T. The Patterson-Greenfield car may, in fact, have been more sophisticated than Ford’s car, but C.R. Patterson & Sons never matched Ford’s manufacturing capability.
Estimates of Patterson-Greenfield car production vary, but it is almost certain that no more than 150 vehicles were built. The company soon switched to production of truck, bus, and other utility vehicle bodies which were installed atop chassis made by major auto manufacturers such as Ford and General Motors. Its school bus bodies in particular became popular as Midwestern school districts began to convert from horse-drawn to internal-combustion-fired transportation by 1920.
Around 1920, the company reorganized as the Greenfield Bus Body Company but after ten years of steady, if unspectacular growth, the Great Depression sent the company into a downward spiral. Frederick Patterson died in 1932, and the company began to disintegrate in the late 1930s. Around 1938, the company moved to Gallipolis, Ohio, changing its name again to the Gallia Body Company in an attempt to restart its prior success. The attempt failed and the company permanently closed its doors in 1939. Like many other small auto manufacturers, the company was unable to compete with Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, and other large automobile manufacturers.
Some of the finest buggies made in the late 1800s came out of a small, black-owned company in Ohio. Charles Rich Patterson's Company later made motor vehicles, and history, by founding the country’s only African-American-owned automobile manufacturing company.
No Patterson-Greenfield automobiles are known to have survived to the present, but some C.R. Patterson & Sons carriages and buggies are extant.
