Black-Owned Businesses in Raleigh Curated by: Jalen Rose Recently, a conversation has sparked centering the Black Lives Matter movement. Many people want to know how best to show their support. Participating in protests, using your privilege to educate others and donating money to bail funds are all great ways to uplift the Black community. But there’s another way that’s often overlooked: supporting Black businesses. Local Black businesses are pillars in the community that help strengthen economies, minimize racial wealth gaps, and create jobs for working class Americans. Roundabout wants to use our platform to highlight Black-owned businesses in the Raleigh area. These businesses were selected from a list curated by the Eta Omicron Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity on NC State’s campus. More Black-owned businesses are listed on their Instagram @etao1971:
