ATX Black Wall Street: Kicking It Supports Black-Owned Businesses and Huston-Tillotson

ATX Black Wall Street was a celebration of black entrepreneurship and a tribute to the historic Black Wall Street in Oklahoma. The event was hosted by Kicking It, and it brought together black-owned businesses and vendors from all over Austin to showcase their products and services.
