Take a Trip to Richmond
Richmond, Virginia has long been a hub of Black culture in America, and the historically Black neighborhood of Jackson Ward in Richmond was once nicknamed the “Harlem of the South.” The city is also home to a bevy of Black-owned restaurants, cafes and boutiques that have carried on the legacy of businesses that pour back into the community.
To learn more about Richmond’s thriving Black community check out BLK RVA, where you can find year-round events, a directory of locally loved restaurants, and a collection of the galleries and theaters that showcase the city’s rich Black culture.
