February is Black History Month! We are honoring this nationwide celebration by spotlighting the stories of Downtown’s Black history and history in the making. We invite you to join us by amplifying the Black-owned businesses and contributions of Black Richmondites that we will be sharing in this weekly newsletter and on our social media.
Black History is American History. We hope you enjoy the stories and voices of your community!
