National Black Business Month is here and it is a time to celebrate and recognize black-owned businesses across the nation. Legacy West, in its ongoing community efforts, is dedicated to building an environment of inclusivity. From hiring minority and women-owned vendors to working with diverse organizations, it has cultivated a community that celebrates all of its patrons.
In continuing with this commitment, Legacy West will be hosting a series of events and offerings to celebrate National Black Business Month, but honoring those black-owned businesses that particularly hail from the DFW Metroplex.
