Helping out the black community can be done in many forms but one of the most direct and effective ways to help is by supporting the “Buying Black” movement. Of course we don’t just mean popping into Walmart and begging for one of Patti’s pies! Buying anything at Walmart is probably not really helping black business that much but it’s something, better still is to go direct.

However it’s not always easy to find everything you need from Black Business but someone has come up with a great idea to help push the self-help agenda!

Brian Williams came up with a way to harness the power of e-commerce for this purpose and founded PurchaseBlack.com. The website curates products from black business so you know your dollars are supporting the African American community.

Have you used PurchaseBlack.com before? What do you think of Brian’s site?
