The Real Race Revolutionaries
How Minority Entrepreneurship Can Remake American Capitalism
A bold vision backed by real stories and real data.
This newly revised edition of Real Race Revolutionaries by Alfredo Ortiz reasserts a powerful argument: that minority entrepreneurship is the most overlooked and underestimated force for equity and prosperity in America. Originally released to wide acclaim, this updated version arrives at a moment of national economic realignment—fueled by fresh statistics, policy breakthroughs, and new stories of entrepreneurial resilience.
With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, a landmark legislative package aimed at supporting small businesses and promoting economic mobility in historically underserved communities, Ortiz returns with a fully revised narrative. He shows how grassroots capitalism—especially among minority communities—can serve as a civil rights engine for a new generation.
Rich with case studies, current policy analysis, and a hopeful message rooted in lived experience, this book offers readers and leaders alike a renewed understanding of how business creation can bridge the opportunity gap and re-center the American Dream.
