The University of Wisconsin–Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE)
since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin. This history of colonization informs our shared future of collaboration and innovation. Today, UW–Madison respects the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation, along with the eleven other First Nations of Wisconsin.

Join us in celebrating by using the resources below to learn more about Black Business Month's purpose or to support businesses directly.
Readings + Resources
Support black-owned businesses - this month and always! Jasmine Maria compiled a list of businesses to check out if you're in the Greater Madison area.
This article talks about the structural challenges black business owners face and the importance of political change in creating a more equitable playing field.
