  1. Hi Sharon,
    This is a great list of organizations that you have compiled. I have one question:
    Are you going to include African American businesses like barbers, beauty salons and restaurants?

    Also missing from the list is the museum in Seattle, Northwest African American Museum at 23oo South Massachusetts, Seattle 98144

    Thank you for all the work that you have done.

    Patricia

    • Yes we are you going to include African American businesses like barbers, beauty salons and restaurants? As we staff up. We will add more and more faster. Thank for your addition of Northwest African American Museum at 23oo South Massachusetts, Seattle 98144 Hope to see you Sunday. Visit them when they started the AAVoice covered their rough beginnings they covered Spokane well.
      Bob L
