With that guiding economic philosophy, Garvey raised one million dollars to establish the Negro Factories Corporation and offered stock for peoples of African descent to be able to invest in the company. According to the Black Business Network, “It generated income and provided jobs by its numerous enterprises, including a chain of grocery stores and restaurants, steam laundry, tailor shop, dress making shop, millinery store (clothing, fashion, hats, accessories, etc.), publishing house and doll factory. In New York City alone, Garvey owned several buildings, owned a fleet of trucks and had over 1,000 Black people working in his businesses.”
