Mary Ellen Pleasant Life story
Mary Ellen Pleasant was a 19th-century entrepreneur, financier, real estate magnate and abolitionist. She was arguably the first self-made millionaire of African-American heritage, preceding Madam C. J. Walker by decades. She identified herself as "a capitalist by profession" in the 1890 United States census.
