The economic impact of the pandemic trickled down into Black-owned businesses, including restaurants and cafes. With the common absence of business loans and the looming evidence of Black Americans being at a higher risk of being infected, many Black restaurant owners faced difficulty in deciding whether to stay open or close temporarily.
