Black CPA #6 - Paul G. Stewart, CPA

In 1937, Paul G. Stewart was the 2nd Black CPA to be licensed in the State of Illinois--making him the 6th Black CPA in the nation.

Mr. Stewart was the organizer of Chicago’s Peoples Consumer Co-Operative in 1937. Paul G. Stewart died shortly after becoming a CPA. The Paul G. Stewart Twin Towers, a 550-apartment housing complex for senior citizens, was built and named in his honor.

The National Society of Black CPAs stands on the backs of greatness. We will continue honoring those who paved the way. Without them, today's Black accountants would not exist. We are grateful.
