On the heels of an already tumultuous reopening timeline from the coronavirus pandemic, businesses across the country have had to board up windows, clean up graffiti and sweep away broken glass as a result of protests that turned into fiery, violent clashes this week. But many black-owned restaurants that sustained severe damage are just as focused on amplifying cries for racial justice as they are on rebuilding.
"I've never felt this before, the mixed feelings that I have," Hailie said of the emotional toll of seeing his lifelong dream after 20 years in this country turned to ashes."To come down to this, believe me, is just heartbreaking." "If it means burning our building and our business to get this justice for George [Floyd] and all of Black Lives Matter, we're OK with that," Hailie said."But we can't bring back any soul – for us we stand by it 100%."
"We were supposed to start on Saturday and we were planning to be busy. Then this happened on Friday. It's very sad," he said. The restaurant owners said they have asked other friends who've lost businesses what they can do to help,"because we're in this together."
