CLEVELAND — It's no secret, tensions around the world have been high since the death of George Floyd, a Minnesota man killed in police custody. Protests, marches and vigils have occurred, in all 50 states, in his honor and in the fight against racial injustices.
However, if marching and protesting isn't your call to action, supporting the black community is the next best thing. Like so many others, the key to my heart is food, so I complied a short list of Black-owned restaurants here in Northeast Ohio.
