SCARED MONEY, ALL TIME LEGENDS: ALONZO HERNDON

[READ THE CAPTION]

Alonzo Franklin Herndon was born into slavery in Walton County, Georgia, in 1858 as a son to an enslaved woman.

After the Civil War and emancipation in 1865, his family was left destitute and worked as sharecroppers near Social Circle, about 40 miles east of Atlanta.

With about one year of formal schooling, he worked early as a laborer to help support his family until 1878, when he left rural Georgia with just $11 and walked to Senoia, where he learned the barber trade.

He opened his first barbershop in Jonesboro and later moved to Atlanta (circa 1883), where he bought into a shop on Marietta Street and eventually owned three barber shops.

One of these, the Crystal Palace shop at 66 Peachtree Street, (one of the busiest streets in Atlanta) catered to prominent white clients: judges, lawyers, politicians and business leaders; which helped Herndon build capital and valuable connections.

In 1905, Herndon purchased a failing mutual aid association and incorporated it as the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association.

He reorganized and expanded this enterprise, and by 1922 it became the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, achieving legal reserve status, a mark of a financially strong insurer.

Under his leadership, the company expanded into multiple states and became one of the most prominent Black-owned insurance businesses in the U.S., providing vital financial services to African-American communities who were largely underserved by white-owned firms.

Through his barbershops, real estate investments, and ownership of Atlanta Life, Herndon amassed significant wealth and became Atlanta’s first Black millionaire and founder of one of the most successful Black-owned businesses in U.S. history.

Got straight off my day job, went to the print shop, scooped the merch, then got home, ate a quick dinner and watched some YouTube while I worked on tedious tasks for my next set of Olympian hoodies.

By the time I got finished with everything it was 11PM. My wife and the cat were asleep already but that’s how it goes sometimes as a part time entrepreneur and full time risk taker.

Thanks for the support!
