Support Black-Owned Businesses During Black History Month

BY KAZMERE DUFFEY

February is Black History Month! As the New Mexico Black History Organizing Committee (NMBHOC) states, Black History is American History, and Black History is New Mexico History.  Although events this year are modified due to the pandemic, this group still provides a number of resources and ways to celebrate this month and throughout the year. 

On their webpage, the NMBHOC provides a list of Black-owned businesses in New Mexico.  Many of these excellent businesses provide Covid-safe ways to shop and/or order, as we get through these tough winter months of the pandemic.  Please have a look and patronize these businesses!  You can also download a pdf, csv, or excel form of the growing list and share it widely. Check out their Facebook page for the most recent updates and news, and to learn how to further support.
