Black-Owned Businesses in the Quad Cities
One of the reasons I love living in the Quad Cities is the diversity. My children go to a school where families speak more than 12 different languages and their friends and classmates are from a variety of races and ethnicities.
As we look for ways to specifically raise up Black people in our community, I turn to the immediate ability to support Black-owned businesses. Let’s grow the financial livelihoods and help strengthen the good people right here in the Quad Cities.
This Black Business Directory was developed from a variety of sources but particular credit goes to The QC Empowerment Network, a collaborative initiative created for and by Black Quad Citizens to connect our community across all divides.
