(Black PR Wire) This Black History Month, Black PR Wire salutes all the Black businesses across the nation making history. From small startups to large enterprises, Black-owned businesses continue to shape the economy, create opportunities, and inspire our community.

The resilience and innovation of Black entrepreneurs are deeply rooted in those trailblazers who came before us, overcoming barriers and creating pathways to success. According to the 2022 Annual Business Survey (ABS), there were an estimated 161,031 Black or African American-owned businesses with $183.3 billion in annual receipts, 1.4 million employees, and about $53.6 billion in annual payroll. Their contributions span various sectors, including media, entertainment, technology, food, fashion, and more. These businesses not only provide essential goods and services but also serve as pillars of their communities, fostering economic empowerment and representation.

Let’s continue supporting Black businesses in our communities all year long. Happy Black History Month!
