At Rockoly, we proudly celebrate Black-owned businesses, acknowledging the significant contributions they make to our community and culture. Nationally coined since 2004, this celebration was collectively led by historians John William Templeton and Fredrick E. Jordan as a way to combat the crippling policies affecting nearly 2.6 million African-American businesses. Not only will you savor these delicious flavors, but you will also delve into the rich history and cultural significance behind these dishes guided by talented Black business owner chefs.
