BUY BLACK!!

At United Crowns Foundation, Inc. we FULLY support BLACK businesses & owners. However, some onlookers dismiss “Buy Black” advocacy as something either “radical” or “if only convenient” but it’s much bigger than that. The poverty, crime and poor education in the Black community can be improved by the support of current and creation of more community-owned businesses. That’s a fact!  Elections come every two to four years, but every day we vote with dollars.

While each Black business owner can express their particular reason for being in business, the big picture goal of “buy Black” campaigns is to build a healthy flow of currency and resources wherein the community buys from Black businesses who then reinvest in the community via job creation and donations to community organizations and faith-based institutions.
