Saving The Black Economy

Are African Americans Being Locked Out of the Food Industry?

I begin this expose on Black people and the business of food with an anecdotal background of my relationship to this topic. I can remember a time when my parents purchased fresh fish from African American fishmongers and fried fish from the legendary Blue Waters carryout in Cherry Hill (South Baltimore) where we lived. We purchased fresh fruits and vegetables from the horse drawn carts of the 'Arabs' (pronounced A-rahb) and when they weren't available then we moseyed on down to the grocery stores. Both groceries stores were owned by Caucasian Jews, I believe. Occasionally we purchased fresh bread from the African American owned bakery in our community. Most of our small day-to-day food, soda, candy, and cigarette (for the adults of course) were purchased from buses and trucks that were converted into mini-stores and parked at strategic locations throughout our community. My Clarence's bus was parked in the parking lot directly in front of our door were it remained day and night for years on end. Continued: Click Here
