One way to uplift Black voices is through food. As people look for resources to take action right now, here is a guide to Black-owned food businesses and restaurants to support around the state.
Late last month, Delaware saw multiple protests calling for justice following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Protestors remembered Floyd’s name and others who have died at the hands of police around the country. Now, many are asking what other ways can they show support to the local Black community.
In response, Delaware Today compiled a list of Black-owned restaurants around the state. We recognize that this list is not comprehensive, and we ask anyone to send an email to Associate Editor Meg Ryan, mryan@delawaretoday.com, so we can continue to update it.
