Horatio Thompson
Article Abstract:
Baton Rouge icon and retired real estate company owner Horatio Thompson believes that a businessman should be determined, willing to sacrifice and give service to the community. Thompson's good reputation in Baton Rouge is largely attributed to the time he sold gas to carpooling boycotters at cost during the bus boycott in 1953. Thompson's career as a minority businessman is discussed.
