\nHappy Black History Month! Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman issued a \nstatement<\/strong><\/a> and video<\/a><\/strong>\n to commemorate Black History Month<\/p>\n

\nThe contributions Black business owners have made to entrepreneurship in the U.S. are indispensable. According to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, there are over\n 3 million<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>Black-owned businesses from coast to coast, accounting for billions of dollars in annual revenue to the U.S. economy. That is a figure worth celebrating this February, Black History Month. Like many in the small business\n community, however, Black-owned businesses have seen their share of challenges throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. But Black entrepreneurs are resolute. In fact, in the first year of the pandemic alone, there were more\n new Black-owned<\/a> <\/strong>businesses proportionate to the total population than at any time in the previous 25 years.<\/p>\n
