Charlotte Black Pages Article


Our Black business directory was incubated in 1989 and co-published in 1991 known as the Charlotte Metropolitan Black Pages. We then expanded into the Fayetteville (NC) Metropolitan area where we published that area's first widely-distributed Black business directory in the early 1990's.
Fast forward over three decades later and we are still focused on fostering economic growth in the Black/African-American communities worldwide. We believe that no society can reach it's maximum potential without a strong business presence that flows down to it's churches, other non-profit organizations, financial institutions, local government, and citizens.

Latest News:

Due to recent negative racial events in our country we decided to re-publish our Black/African-American business directory now known as CBP's Black Pages Worldwide™ and made it available via our landing page on the Internet thus capable of reaching a worldwide audience of severely under-represented consumers.

The purpose of this publication is to once again foster economic growth in the Black/African-American communities around the globe thus providing better opportunities and a brighter future for their youth. In addition, our online publication is an easy-to-use and accessible updated directory of Black-owned businesses and organizations that serve said areas. Mainstream patronage is welcomed!. In doing so, you will play an integral role in reducing the severe economic disparities and associated negatives that plague these under-served communities daily.

This concept of listing Black-owned businesses grew out of the segregationist's movements around the world that treated people of color different in that they were not able to legally participate in the mainstream society. In the United States of America this process began after the passing of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to our constitution. Subsequent movements such as Jim Crow, the Black Code, KKK (Ku Klux Klan), and Red Shirt campaigns ensued to intimidate and scare people of color from voting thus diluting their economic empowerment. As a result, Black-owned businesses flourished which spilled over into their respective communities to include churches, schools, non-profit organizations, and citizens. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's unfortunately ushered in the beginning of the end to many "mom and pop" Black-owned businesses throughout North America.

As stated earlier, all are welcome to use this valuable tool of equality. Our goal is to list Bona-fide Black businesses and organizations worldwide who will in turn provide a decent service or product for consumption. We will not, however, knowingly list anyone engaged in any enterprise that is illegal in their market as well as those looking to SCAM, deceive, or take advantage of any user of our resource. On the flip side, we welcome good consumers who are not looking to SCAM, deceive, or take advantage of our listed businesses. If a dispute arises we expect the matter to be first addressed in-house between the consumer and enterprise (preferably in writing), and next (if necessary) via the Better Business Bureau (or equivalent), before taking to the Internet via elicit third-party review sites.

To jump start our directory we offered FREE basic listings to the first 200 Black-owned enterprises to participate as well as other introductory discounts of up to 50% off.
