Running a business that aims to serve a particular demographic can be a challenge. But sometimes it's borne of necessity. As part of Black History month, we're talking to black business owners to learn about the past when segregation created the need for minority businesses, to today when offering business diversity creates opportunities for community growth. Business diversity is the topic on the next Talk of Alaska.
