This week on The Urban Business Roundtable, UBR Contributor Angelique Westerfield speaks with Don Jackson, founder and CEO of Chicago-based Central City Productions (CCP). With nationally syndicated television production credits  including the Black Enterprise Business Report, the Bud Billiken Parade, the Trumpet Awards, the Stellar Awards and the iconic Soul Train, Jackson is celebrating 40 years in business this year.

Jackson is also founder and a member of the Alliance of Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs (ABLE), an organization designed to bring black leaders together to network, address business issues and provide a strong legacy for current and future African American entrepreneurs.

To learn more about Jackson’s plans for the future of CCP, read “Producing Success” in the September 2010 issue of Black Enterprise magazine.
