The Atlanta Life Insurance Company was established on September 6, 1905. It was founded by Alonzo Herndon, an African American entrepreneur, and became one of the most significant Black-owned insurance companies in the United States. The company provided life insurance to African Americans at a time when they were often denied coverage by other companies. It was an important milestone in the history of Black-owned businesses and the African American community’s efforts toward economic empowerment.
