Junius George Groves (April 12, 1859 – August 17, 1925) was an American farmer and entrepreneur remembered as one of the wealthiest black Americans of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Known as the "Potato King of the World" by 1902, Groves optimized potato growth methods, out-producing anyone else in the world to that point. His vast financial success—analyzed further in Booker T. Washington's The Negro in Business (1907)—was utilized to help combat racism by providing economic opportunities for other black Americans.
