Black History Month is here and every year the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) comes up with a theme for the month with this year’s theme being African Americans in labor. As an ambassador and tour guide for visitors and residents on all things Philly, Visit Philadelphia has launched the “Legacy & Love” video series honoring Black-owned businesses.
Each Monday in February, Visit Philly is highlighting and promoting a Black-business that has been passed down for generations and has strong familial ties. Focusing on the entrepreneurial spirit of these business owners is a way to showcase African Americans in labor in a positive way.
