"The purpose of the Black Expo is to promote economic development through increased exposure for minority-owned businesses," say organizers. "African-American owned businesses have the opportunity to showcase their products and services to the public and procurement officers from major corporations and government entities. It is also an opportunity for major corporation and government entities to develop viable working relationships with minority-owned businesses while marketing their products and services to a growing consumer market. This event is a family-oriented event that exposes the community to business opportunities and cultural resources."
