The Black in Business project of Knoxville News Sentinel highlights the success and resilience of Black entrepreneurs in the city. Located at Marble City Market food hall in downtown Knoxville, Chick-N-Sack restaurant owner James Boo Jackson is one such entrepreneur that has thrived in the area.
The third edition of Black in Business features profiles and photos of this year’s Black-owned businesses, showcasing their stories and achievements. It is a testament to the fact that owning a small business can be challenging but also rewarding. The project is a part of Knox News’ commitment to fully represent Black communities through meaningful stories, photos, and videos.
As a journalist, it is crucial to learn about their stories and support their businesses. Now more than ever, it is important to uplift and promote diversity and inclusion in our communities. Be sure to grab a copy of the April 7 print edition of the Knoxville News Sentinel to read the Black in Business special section and show your support for Black entrepreneurs in the Knoxville community.
