Does anyone know if Carhartt (the company that makes overalls and jackets for people who constantly work outdoors) is black-owned? I saw a photo of Hamilton Carhartt, the founder, and he looks like he might be black. A corollary question is, what other companies in America do black families own, that you would never know unless someone told you?
I found this picture (scroll down).
He doesn’t look black to me. I think if he was, it would be mentioned in the article (I checked out a few and none of them say if his was or not).
