Activists Urge CLT Community To Support Black-Owned Businesses for Long-Term Change – Here’s 50
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA - MAY 31: Demonstrators march on I-94 while participating in a protest against police brutality and the death of George Floyd on May 31, 2020 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Protests continue to be held in cities throughout the country over the death of Floyd, a black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25.
Activists are looking beyond the protests and the black-out Tuesdays at how community members can then push for change, long-term. Some are suggesting pouring into the local community – specifically into businesses owned by people of color.
