In recognition of Black History Month, Westhampton Beach High School business students have been engaging in lessons related to black entrepreneurs. Business Management students conducted a study on Chris Gardner, founder of Gardner Rich and Co., and created a mural in their school’s hallway featuring black entrepreneurs and CEOs. Accounting students watched “The Banker,” which tells the story of two African American entrepreneurs who built a multimillion-dollar banking and real estate portfolio in the 1960's and fought for housing integration. Virtual Enterprise students worked to create Instagram posts featuring successful black entrepreneurs.
