MACON, Ga. The first annual buy Black downtown Macon tour was held Saturday.
People shopping in downtown Macon had the opportunity to shop with Black-owned businesses.
Many businesses have struggled during the pandemic. The event was an opportunity to help those local businesses earn some revenue during such a difficult time.
It was also a good time for local businesses to network.
Program Manager of One World Link Nancy Cleveland says it s important for everyone to stand behind these businesses. If we get more people opening businesses and supporting businesses that are Black-owned we can raise the quality of life for all citizens of Macon, and supporting a Black business is supporting an American business. So, we invite all people, no matter what race or ethnicity, to come out and support, she said.
