At BmoreNews.com, supporting Black-owned businesses has been a hallmark of our efforts.

With this in mind, we invite all to join us on Monday, August 22, 2022, from 6 to 8 pm at Darker Than Blue Grille for “Recognizing Black Business Month: Doing Business with the City and State,” a business networking and awards event.

RSVP to http://blackbusinessmonth.eventbrite.com/.

As always, the event will feature the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards. Honorees include Christy Turner.
