Celebrating black-owned businesses allows our community to come together and celebrate the many accomplishments of African American leaders, artists, filmmakers, business owners and more. Because Baton Rouge is home to so many influential figures—from history to modern-day—with a consistent impact on our community, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate in the Capital City. We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite black-owned Baton Rouge businesses and restaurants to help you dive in and explore the many offerings available—from music to shopping to a selfie museum! Tell us about your favorites in the comments as you #ExploreBatonRouge.
