One simple way to support the Black community is to frequent Black-owned establishments, many of which have struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic. Midwest Black Restaurant Week, running through Aug. 1, helps promote these restaurants so they can recover.
Black Restaurant Weeks have been staged around the U.S. since 2016. This year, the second for the Midwest Region, brings expanded participation from restaurants to food trucks, sweets, fun activities, gift cards, cash prizes, and more.
