This week's book of the week is Where You Are Is Not Who You Are: A Memoir by Ursula Burns

The first Black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company looks back at her life and her career at Xerox, sharing unique insights on American business and corporate life, the workers she has always valued, racial and economic justice, how greed is threatening democracy, and the obstacles she’s conquered being Black and a woman.

“I am a black woman, I do not play golf, I do not belong to or go to country clubs, I do not like NASCAR, I do not listen to country music, and I have a masters degree in engineering. I, like a typical New Yorker, speak very fast, with an accent and vernacular that is definitely New York City, definitely Black. So when someone says I’m going to introduce you to the next CEO of Xerox, and the options are lined up against a wall, I would be the first one voted off the island.”

This week’s Black Business History covers

Bill Mays, Mays Chemical EST. 1980

 The late business pioneer launched Mays Chemical Co. Inc. in 1980, which evolved into one of the nation’s largest chemical distributors serving the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care sectors, among others. Mays further expanded his business empire to include media, restaurants, and real estate. The intrepid entrepreneur was also one of the leading Black angel investors, providing capital and advice to a number of minority businesses including partnerships with such BE 100s firms as The Chemico Group.  

Bill Mays, whose philanthropic and business footprints stretched all over Indianapolis, prioritized the advancement and preservation of the city’s African American community. His two most celebrated accomplishments: starting what became one of the nation’s largest minority-owned businesses in Mays Chemical Company, and buying the Recorder. Mays died in 2014 at 69 years old.

Founded in 1980 as a one-man operation, Mays Chemical in 2018 was the 42nd-largest minority-owned business in the country, and the largest in Indiana, according to Black Enterprise. Mays Chemical provides chemicals to manufacturers in the auto, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries. Mays retired from executive leadership in 2011, after having invested his time and money into more than 100 companies and donating millions to philanthropic causes.
