Educator and leadership coach Dennis Kimbro will discuss his new book on black millionaires on March 6 at the Decatur Library.

Kimbro, former director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at Clark Atlanta University, will talk about “The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires” beginning at 7:15 p.m.

His appearance is part of the library’s March Festival of Writers.

Noting that in 2009 more than one-third of all African-Americans had no measurable assets, Kimbro writes of how the economic crisis has disproportionately impacted the African-American community.

He examines the lives of a small group who managed to achieve great success.

His work is based on a seven-year national study of the 1,000 wealthiest African-Americans, and critics say “it offers sound and surprising advice about climbing the economic ladder.”

Kimbro received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Oklahoma and a doctorate from Northwestern University, where he studied wealth and poverty among underdeveloped countries.

The Decatur Library is at 215 Sycamore St. in downtown Decatur. For more information, call 404-370-3070.
