Grand Opening Uhuru Bakery & Cafe
About this Event
The Grand Opening takes place during the weekend of Marcus Garvey's 139th birthday. Uhuru will be raising the red, black and green African flag initiated by Marcus Garvey, in honor of the international African leader whose vision of Black economic self-reliance and institution-building continues to inspire generations.

In the spirit of Garvey, the opening marks a major achievement of the Black Power Blueprint, a community-driven initiative transforming North St. Louis through economic development, housing, food sovereignty and African self-determination.
