For a few months now I’ve been receiving Black Enterprise Magazine at my folks’ home in Mobile. I’m not entirely sure how or why, but I thought it was sweet of someone to give me a subscription. It’s certainly news to me. So to whomever signed me up- thanks. I’m not sure why you signed me up, but I appreciate it. I just better not get a bill.

Among the things I’ve learned while reading Black Enterprise:

Don Thompson was promoted to president of McDonald’s USA in August 2006, after a sixteen year career with the company.

Automotive advertisements in African-American magazines are much cooler than those in other magazines I’ve read (such as National Geographic Adventure, ESPN the Magazine, and Popular Science).
