About Yocum African American History Association

YAHAA is responsible for PROFILES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN SUCCESS which is an American documentary web series produced by award-winning filmmaker Bayer Mack for his production company Block Starz Music Television. This documentary series features short biographies of African-American businesses and entrepreneurs, and Frances Presley Rice is the screenwriter and Executive Producer of this documentary series.

Several of those documentaries are posted on the website of the Yocum African American History Association. I’ll make sure to include links to their website in the show notes.

However, one of the documentaries really stands out and features Frederick D. Patterson (1871-1932), a black man who had his own car company 100 years ago.

This untold automotive history documentary recounts how Frederick Patterson, a successful African-American entrepreneur, manufactured the Greenfield-Patterson automobile.

Frederick Patterson is the first black man known to have made cars during this period in American history. Hear his story in this podcast!
