Black-owned businesses in Philadelphia are thriving, and we’re highlighting some of the kid-friendly places where families can show support during Black History Month, or any month. These Black-owned shops and landmarks reflect the diversity of Philly’s Black community, teach our shared history, and enhance the culture of a city to which African Americans have made immense contributions.
Our list includes museums and historical sites that offer opportunities for important discussions around civil rights, alongside Black-owned restaurants and businesses where families will find some of the best eats, treats, and shopping in the city.
