The theme this year is A Century of Black History Commemorations. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 201,000 Black-owned employer businesses in the U.S. (about 3.4% of all businesses) in 2024 (the most recent year for statistics), with receipts of $249 billion. Black-owned non-employer businesses accounted for 14.4% (4.4 million businesses). #IdeaoftheDay
