SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — It’s Black Restaurant Week in Shreveport-Bossier and the Shreveport-Bossier African American Chamber of Commerce suggests visiting several Black-owned area restaurants this week.
“When you see Black restaurant week, you see Black business owners that are being successful and we’ve got to make sure that we come out and support y’all,” said Mayor Adrian Perkins in a video post on the SBAACC Facebook page. “We have to send the message to Black business owners that we are going to support them and that they are going to continue to thrive.”
Here’s a day-by-day recommendation of where to dine during Black Restaurant Week, courtesy of the SBAACC:
