Black history is just as much a part of American history as any other race or culture. If you are looking for ways to support the Black community outside of Black History Month, one of the best ways to do that is by supporting Black businesses that sell Black culture clothing.
There are more Black-owned businesses than you likely realize. You can support these businesses by shopping there, rather than supporting massive retailers. Black-owned businesses like BlackMerch offer great clothing and accessories that support Black pride and Black business owners. Below, we discuss some of the best ways to incorporate Black culture clothing into your wardrobe.
