From the events that occurred in the United States, such as the Emancipation Proclamation, Harlem Renaissance, movies, inventions, and even music and literature, all play a part in showcasing Black Culture. Therefore, historically a business that celebrates Black Culture should in some way shape or form showcase and make available these items or services.
  2. Remain Current in all things Black Culture – African Americans have a rapidly evolving culture in the USA. Each generation adds to what is already there, and this has been done throughout history. Therefore, always keep a pulse on the youth and what is being added to the culture because it creates an ever thriving business for both older and younger.

These are static cultural items for African Americans to which they are extremely proud.
  4. Decorate with Black Cultural Items – Decor is everything!

Hang these items or use as backdrops or wall paper to make Black Culture palpable in your business.
