Here’s a list of 40-plus Black-owned restaurants in the Sacramento area

Thousands of protesters congregated in downtown Sacramento over the weekend to protest the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died with a white police officer’s knee on his neck on Memorial Day in Minneapolis, with another rally likely to happen Tuesday evening.

Lists of Black-owned restaurants have sprung up around the country as people look to eat at or get takeout from a black-owned restaurant, some of which saw their own buildings vandalized as the protests devolved after dark, as another way to support the cause.

All of these Sacramento restaurants are owned or partially owned by Black men and women. Please email begel@sacbee.com to submit additional restaurants for consideration.
