Does anyone have any documentation that the 101-111 issues on "Fire Recording Company" with an address in Bakersfield, Calif. had anything to do with Bobby Robinson? Steve Pastor (talk) 01:06, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oftentimes a rumor will spread like it's the gospel truth. It can get caught up in a political storm which if it doesn't get untangled it becomes etched in stone. Such is the case with Bobby Robinson's Happy House being declared the first Black-owned business on 125th Street.

What probably happened is that to save the building where Happy House was located the truth of it being one of the few Black-owned businesses in the 40's turned into it being the first Black-owned business on 125th Street.

But what does that do to the other Black-owned businesses that were before Robinson, like Morgan & Marvin Smith's Photography Studio next to the Apollo that opened in 1939?

So without discrediting Bobby Robinson I referenced a book that featured the Smith Brothers' photography studio, which would demonstrate at the least that there was one Black-owned business ahead of Bobby Robinson.

I don't want it to be confusing to the readers. So any suggestions on how I would convey that Robinson was not the first Black-owned business on 125th Street with the sources that are out there which simply indicate as such their place in time?

I'm looking for guidance on structuring the footnote so people understand what I'm doing or the purpose of the reference. Julius Tajiddin (talk) 03:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
