VIDEO: BUY BLACK TOUR CONNECTS BUSINESS AND MOVEMENT

TyBlack-600x322On the last day of the black history month, a small group of activists set off to discover and promote black-owned businesses, highlighted black economic power as a political force, and connected them to Black Lives Matter Movement. “People should spend their money to places which give back and empower the community, not the big corporates that support institutional racism,” they claimed.

The tour started at the crossing where Shantel Davis was killed, and proceeded to neighborhoods such as Flatbush, Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy, followed closely by cops in cars.
