Ohioans recognize National Black Business Month

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- August is National Black Business Month, and Ohioans are helping further the message to highlight the need to support Black-owned business across the country and help ensure financial fulfillment for all.

Black Business Month was created 20 years ago to recognize and help move Black entrepreneurs forward, and some organizations feel they also have a responsibility to do so.   

Economic development agency JobsOhio has been celebrating Black Business Month for years by giving out grants.
