As National Black Business Month comes to a close, we’re giving another shout out to those in the Historic 4th Avenue district—one of the oldest black business districts in the country.
Today, it includes more than 50 Black-owned businesses and more than 20 Black property owners.
Every Friday in August, REV has partnered with Urban Impact Inc. to highlight some of these businesses for Black Business Friday.
Great Receipt Race Players receive DOUBLE POINTS every Black Business Friday for submitting receipts from local Black-owned businesses.
