The goal is to support businesses that have histor- ically been marginalized or difficult to keep going because of the nature of access to start-up capital and costs of restaurant ownership and maintenance. Portland activist Bertha Pearl provided a list of some of the black-owned restaurants in the area, many of which are listed at the event page for Port- land, facebook.com/events/1633277300277946. Some of the locations are Po’Shines Café De La Soul, Crown Q, Cannon’s BBQ, Stoopid Burger, Alberta Street Fish and Chips, Chez Dodo, Olive or Twist in the Pearl, A Heavenly taste of Miracles Club, Horn of Africa, and dozens more.
