Black Restaurant Week, which helps highlight San Antonio Black-owned restaurants will begin on February 21-28.
The week-long event is not only for brick-and-mortar spots but food trucks, caterers and other food-related businesses in San Antonio to also be showcased. In a city where the Black population only makes up about 7% of the city’s population, and has a small but growing population of Black business owners, it is nice to be able to shine a light on Black business owners in the culinary field to provide support and acknowledgement.

Let me start off by saying that asking to choose 10 photos of a year unlike any other Iâve ever lived through is an impossible task without a satisfactory answer. A plethora of photos could have made this list for a variety of reasons.

Life Again?: The top 10 stories of 2020 [The Hanford Sentinel, Calif.]

After hours of combing through hundreds of stories I wrote, here are my top 10 of 2020.

HANFORD With Hanford being a staunch and overtly conservative area, organizers for the Black Lives Matter protest in June were hoping for 50 people to show up. Instead, what transpired was a sea of support at the Hanford Civic Auditorium with more than 500 people standing in solidarity for one cause.
HANFORD â The âTop Gun Anthemâ and âDanger Zoneâ played from a loud speaker as hundreds of cars made their way down Franklin Way and into the small cul-de-sac for a special moment.
Roy Harmon, a Navy veteran of World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War, was given a drive-by birthday surprise with over 300 cars on Saturday.
âIt was mind-boggling to me,â Harmon said. âI could never comprehend getting that many people to drive down the street. It was beautiful.â
As he sat at the front of his driveway waving to cars, Harmon was flanked by a dozen family members who drove down that morning from Folsom, El Dorado, Lancaster and Sacramento. It was his first time seeing the majority of his family in nine months due to COVID-19.
