NEW BEDFORD After the success of BuyBlackNB’s first pop-up vendor market at the Rotch-Jones-Duff-House in June, the organization will host another event to celebrate National Black Business Month on Aug. 28.
“There was something so special about our Juneteenth market,” said Justina Perry, creator of BuyBlackNB. Since starting the organization in June 2020, Perry has worked hard to bring exposure to Black-owned businesses in the SouthCoast region.
“The sense of community among the vendors and the energy from those who attended.it was beautiful and it was just the feeling I hoped this event would promote. We’re proving that this concept works in our city and if you build it people will come,” Perry said in a press release.

NEW BEDFORD The Waterfront Historic Area LeaguE, also known as WHALE, hosted a virtual community conversation on its Neighborhood Revitalization Program Wednesday night. Teri Bernert, executive director, said the meeting was a response, in part, to protests last summer against the auctioning of a property they are restoring. It kind of showed to us that our work does revitalize neighborhoods, but there s not a good understanding of the program and what it does, Bernert said. We need to do better community outreach. maybe we haven’t been doing enough of that because we’re too busy restoring the properties, but that s no excuse.
