Black Restaurant Owners Stand in Solidarity with Protesters in Oakland and the East Bay - Eater SF

"Meanwhile, Brown Sugar Kitchen chef-owner Tanya Holland believes the “Black Owned” sign that she put up in her window wound up protecting the restaurant from physical harm — “like bug repellant,” she says, describing the scene in Uptown Oakland on Friday night as a “sea of mayhem.” Though many of the other businesses on the same stretch of Broadway, including a Starbucks and a branch of the Mixt salad chain, were tagged with graffiti and had their windows smashed, Holland’s restaurant was entirely untouched." - Luke Tsai
