How Chesterfield is honoring the contributions of African Americans

RICHMOND, Va. Itâs a long-standing tradition honoring the contributions of African Americans, for the 32
nd year Chesterfield county will showcase events and programs for Black History Month, what is different this year is how the county will carry them out during the pandemic.
âWeâre excited that even though weâre having a virtual format weâre still able to provide a month-long full of exciting programming for our community,â Kimberly Conley, co-chair of the Chesterfield County Black History Month Committee, said.
The county partners with Virginia State University for a number of virtual programs designed and centered around a specific theme.
“It came at the perfect time because that was right when we shut down again and right as we were having to lay people off, said Mike Ransom, chef-owner of three Ima noodle restaurants in Detroit and Madison Heights. It allowed us to keep on twice as many hourly staff as we’d otherwise been able to, knowing that we had a little extra help to buffer our payroll for two or three periods.
Meals were delivered in the days between Christmas and New Year s, normally one of the busiest weeks of the year for the hospitality industry but not so in 2020 as dining rooms remained shuttered amid the protracted COVID-19 pandemic.
