Regardless of the many obstacles Black business owners face, the amount of businesses owned by Black Americans continues to rise, demonstrating the resilience and perseverance that is embedded in Black American culture. Black-owned businesses are the cornerstone of communities like ours in New Bedford. On Saturday, June 17th from 11am-3pm at the Rotch-Jones-Duff House, we’ll have the opportunity to buy goods from dozens of local Black vendors. By investing in and purchasing from Black-owned businesses, we can all play a role in contributing to their success! (Pictured: Insightful Tees, owned by Hillary Browne)
