Prof. Juliet E.K. Walker is featured on UT's Home Page for her research on Black Business entrepreneurship

Prof. Juliet E.K. Walker of the History Department, is featured on the university's Home Page for her research on black business entrepreneurs. At the moment, Dr. Walker is working on a book focusing on Oprah Winfrey--looking at Winfrey as a role model in her multiple successful business ventures, being a woman, and an African American.

Dr. Walker's previous book detailed the breadth of black business starting with the entrepreneurship of African American slaves. In her endeavor to promote more study of this part of African American history, she started the Center for Black Business History, Entrepreneurship and Technology (CBBH) in 2002.

As part of the CBBH, Walker held a conference in 2003 and launched the Texas Black Business Hall of Fame and  inducted four African American entrepreneurs for their contributions to American business, leadership roles and support of black colleges and universities.

The next CBBH 2005 Conference will be on "Selling Blackness and Getting Paid: Hip Hop Entrepreneurs and Business Enterprises." The purpose of this conference is to examine the specifics of the multiplicity of business activities and profits generated from all aspects of the Hip Hop industry.

Professor Walker is a Humanities Institute Fellow for 2004-2005 and also holds the Jack Wrather Endowed Centennial Fellowship at the IC2 Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.

"A Conversation With Dr. Juliet E.K. Walker: The Economic Life of African Americans in the Age of Slavery" is a 35-minute video "conversation" with Dr. Walker available through the Thomas Day Project.
