Historian Shane White discusses his new book, Prince of Darkness: The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street's First Black Millionaire.
Despite Hamilton's lowly upbringing, he achieved success and amassed a
two million dollar fortune in the mid-nineteenth century, becoming the
richest African American in the U.S. at that time.
