Brown (NNPA Newswire Contributor) E ach year, the Census Bureau rec- ognizes Black History Month by releasing up-to-date statistics that reveal the total Black population, the number of Black-owned business- es and even how many African Amer- ican military members are serving the country. Currently, the Black population stands at 46.3 million, up about 1.3 percent from the previous year. The Census Bureau identifies individuals as Black, even if they list Black and an- other race on the survey. Census officials project that the Black population will increase to 74.5 million by July 1, 2060 and, on that date, African-Americans will account for 17.9 percent of the nation’s total population. The estimated number of Black- owned employer firms was 108,473 in 2014, according to the Census Bureau. Additionally, there’s an estimated 31,216 Black-owned health care and so- cial assistance firms, the largest sector of Black-owned businesses. The health care and social assistance sector is followed by professional, sci- entific and technical support (15,078) and administrative, support, waste management and remediation ser- vices (9,644).

JPC gave the world two pillars of Black media, EBONY and JET magazines. “As we celebrate Black History Month, it is the perfect time to honor this building that stands tall as a de- cades-long epicenter of Black histo- ry and culture,” said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “This designation will cement this building’s status as a land- mark that is not just part of the legacy of the city of Chicago, but the history of our nation.” Linda Johnson Rice, chairperson of Johnson Publishing Com- pany and daughter of the company’s founder John H. Johnson, said she’s honored that the build- ing is being considered Feb. 18, 2017 at 3 pm. for landmark status.
