About

The complete digital home for Black owned business.

Black Plate Directory carries Victor Green's 1936 vision into 2026. Every business. Every community. Every generation.

Black Plate Directory is a national platform connecting Black consumers with Black owned restaurants, businesses, professionals, and beauty and wellness experts across America.

Our mission is simple. Make it effortless for every Black community in every city to find, support, and grow Black owned business — with dignity, verified ownership, and a design language that honors our history.

The name is a tribute to Victor Hugo Green, whose 1936 Negro Motorist Green Book built the first complete infrastructure of Black commerce in the United States. Black Plate carries that mission forward on a modern platform.
