Great post, thanks for sharing!!!
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
