This week, August 21-27, marks the third annual Support Black-Owned Restaurants Week, which encourages people to support black restaurant owners and local business.
First started in 2014 by Bertha Pearl after she was inspired by the Bay Area's Black Restaurant Day, the annual event has now grown to a full week of celebration. This year's Support Black-Owned Restaurants Week kicks off today, and in honor of the eclipse, many restaurants will be offering deals. The week will end with a party at chef/owner William Travis' Dub's St. Johns on Sunday, August 27 from 6-10. Travis has been a major part of the effort to expand this year's iteration.
There are similar events in Seattle and New York City.
Here is the full list of restaurants listed by Support Black-Owned Restaurants at iloveblackfood.com.

Leg ‘er down a smack ‘em yak ‘em!
I have a Sambo’s wooden token too!
A small bit of Americana, now forbidden by our globalist masters.
You don’t see every act through the lens of race?
oh, you must be a normal person, and not a leftist kook then.
When things like this are treated as OK for one race but not for another, there is systemic institutionalized racism against the race it is treated as not OK for.
If a restaurant is worth eating at, it likely doesn't need special patronage like a day when folks are urged to go there.
Hey, watch it....this white guy LOVES some Popeyes’ no matter how bad it is for me!
