As a child growing up in Chicago, the black community seemed to me a business empire. Barbershops, Stores, tailors, Joe Louis Milk, Joe Louis Movie Theater Johnson Publishing,The Chicago Defender, Muhammad Speaks Newspaper and Chess Records were all in walking distance of my Harold J. Ickes housing projects. 47th, 63rd and 79th Streets bustled with black owned business of all kinds. I look at this Johnson Publishing produced film and wonder, “What happened?”

If Simple were still still alive today, he would answer, “Colder Ice!”
