Supporting Black business owners is just one way to uplift the Black community right now.
Directories such as stlblackbiz.com and fortheculturestl.com have compiled a number of Black-owned businesses in the metro area, searchable by category or location. Black entrepreneurs and allies are also joining a Facebook group called STL Black Owned Businesses, which was created about five years ago and now has more than 2,800 members.
Here are a few of the diverse metro area restaurants, boutiques and other businesses you can support today.
