CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – The 9th annual Charlottesville-Albemarle Black Business Expo Saturday, June 14, takes place right alongside the Jefferson School’s Juneteenth celebration.

“It’s really about community building,” United Way of Greater Charlottesville CEO Ravi Cooper said. “If you want to meet people, support people, build relationships this is a great event and a great way to learn. They’ve got some great speakers that are going to be there on the panels.”

The expo is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center.
