Virtual Lunch & Learn: Celebrating National Black Business Month
August 12, 2026 - August 12, 2026; 1:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Where Heritage Inspires Innovation and Community Fuels Empowerment
Celebrate National Black Business Month with our Virtual Lunch & Learn Series honoring the legacy, innovation, and impact of Black entrepreneurship.
Throughout history, Black entrepreneurs have built businesses that create opportunity, preserve cultural traditions, strengthen communities, and leave lasting legacies for future generations. Today, Black-owned businesses continue to drive innovation, create jobs, inspire future entrepreneurs, and invest in the neighborhoods they serve.
Hosted by The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center in partnership with The Atlanta Small Business Training Consortium, Inc., this free virtual series will feature distinguished speakers, practical business insights, and engaging discussions designed to educate, inspire, and empower entrepreneurs, professionals, and community members alike.
Whether you are a business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a supporter of Black-owned businesses, this series offers an opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate the enduring legacy of Black entrepreneurship.
