As protests and social change have made their way across the United States, many of us are trying to find ways we can make a difference in our local black communities. One of the most effective ways we can support our black community in the Ronkonkoma area is quite simple – we can support our local black-owned businesses by dining at their restaurants or purchasing goods from their stores.
