The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has triggered a resurgence of pain, frustration and anger, and has reignited discussions about race and racism in the Quad-Cities and beyond. It also has started a movement to support black communities by purchasing from black-owned businesses.
Dozens of lists of businesses and restaurants have been circulating this week on social media. For Quad-Citians looking to support businesses owned by black people, we have compiled these lists into one, including restaurants, stores and services.
To update a listing, or add your favorite Q-C black-owned business to the list, email the business’ name, address and contact information through the weekend to landerson@qconline.com.
