In 2004, August was nationally recognized as Black Business Month after historian John William Timpleton and engineer Frederick E. Jordan Sr. led an effort to raise awareness about Black-owned businesses and their contributions to the country’s economy.

But it wasn’t until two years ago that El Paso officially recognized the months-long celebration, which came after local businesswoman and publisher Monica Tucker created a proclamation that was signed by then Mayor Dee Margo.
