'Tis the season for festivities and gift-giving, but have you ever pondered the impactful purchasing influence of the African American community? The rich tradition of economic participation and spending within the Black community persists, making it all the more crucial to channel our support towards Black-owned businesses during this festive season.

As you embark on your holiday shopping spree, consider the profound significance of directing your hard-earned dollars towards sustaining and uplifting Black-owned enterprises, particularly those that have faced adversity amid the pandemic. In Tuscaloosa, local Black-owned businesses are in need of your patronage to weather the economic challenges they currently confront.

The internet has emerged as a vital tool, offering a lifeline to Black-owned businesses that may lack a physical storefront. Numerous enterprises now operate online, showcasing a diverse array of products and services. Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, statistics revealed that only about 3% of businesses in the United States were Black-owned, with over 80% grappling with closure within their initial years of operation. This year, the rallying cry to "Buy Black" resonates more than ever, echoing the devastating impact of the coronavirus on Black-owned establishments.
