(Bloomberg) -- If there was a silver lining to 2020, it’s the response from people of goodwill to pivotal events such as the murder of George Floyd. Those individuals rushed to affirm Black Americans and to support Black businesses, including restaurants. Last year, searches for Black-owned business spiked 600% compared with 2019, according to Google. This attention to Black-owned dining establishments is centuries overdue; the legacy of Black restaurateurs goes back more than 250 years. Here we celebrate nine who have made a difference through changing periods of America’s history.
