Black Business Month @ Liberation Park - Celebrating Black Business Month

This dynamic and celebratory gathering is designed to amplify Black Business Month. It will showcase the vibrant spirit of Black innovation, commerce, and culture within the community. The event aims to provide a significant platform for Black businesses, foster economic empowerment, and offer a rich cultural experience for all attendees through the AKOMA Grand Market, a Levitt Vibe Concert, and engaging activities. While Oakland is a diverse city with many incredible businesses, this event champions explicitly the Black business community during Black Business Month, recognizing their unique contributions and fostering economic growth within the culture.

Understanding Black Business Month:

Black Business Month, celebrated annually in August, was established in 2004 by historian John William Templeton and engineer Frederick E. Jordan Sr. to recognize and promote Black-owned businesses. It acknowledges the significant contributions of Black entrepreneurs to the economy and society, highlights the challenges they often face, and encourages consumers to support these businesses. The month serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of economic empowerment within the Black community, fostering wealth creation, job opportunities, and community development.

Supporting Black Businesses This Month and Beyond: For The Culture!

To celebrate Black Business Month in August, focus on supporting and uplifting Black-owned businesses through patronage, promotion, and investment. This can be achieved by actively seeking out and shopping at these businesses, spreading the word on social media, and investing in their growth – all For The Culture.
