Celebrate Black Restaurants
A group of Portlanders are encouraging the pa-
tronage of African-American-owned restaurants this
weekend as part of National Black Business Month.
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.
