Happy Black History Month! 💯 It has been over 200 years since Thomas Jennings became the first Black entrepreneur to be granted a patent for prototyping the process that would eventually become modern-day dry cleaning. Since then, Black entrepreneurs have played an integral role in shaping the American business landscape. Let us celebrate the contributions of Black entrepreneurs in driving innovation and growth in the US economy. #BlackBusinessOwners #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #USBusinessLandscape 😁
