Lasting power of protests gives black business owners hope for real change.

Lowe said she’s never seen anything like it.

“I’m 56 years old, and I’ve never seen it the way that it is now. When you get white people on the front line, saying that things are wrong. We want justice. We want justice for all the people that have been dying, have been killed by the hands of officers across this country,” Lowe said. MORE

The Covid-19 Pandemic has laid bare the many injustices our Black and Brown brothers and sisters have suffered in all areas including healthcare, environmental, educational, justice systems, and which affect economics. Black Businesses have always struggled to survive, even during good times. Because there are so few of them, it is more important than ever to seek out and support those in our community.

Lowe's business enterprise, The Black Business Bus Tour has suffered a negative financial impact because the buses can't run due to the coronavirus. We can change that.
