Black owned businesses honoring Juneteenth [Video]

WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) – Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, equality, and opportunity. One way that this is acknowledged is through the creativity within black-owned businesses.

Black-owned business owners in Wichita Falls said being a business owner is honoring all those before them.

Black-owned businesses make up 3.5 million businesses in America, but being a black business owner was not always a reality.

Black entrepreneurs explain because of those before them, they are able to follow their dreams.

“God moves through your calling. It is a beautiful thing no matter how much money you make. We are always chasing a dollar, and of course, you want more for yourself, but when you wake up every day and love what you do I can conquer every day.” The owner of Rica Dolls Jerrica Castle explained.

Juneteenth commemorates the day when 250,000 slaves of Texas became the last bastion of slavery.
