Stone County Economic Development Partnership holds annual Black History Month luncheon

STONE COUNTY, Miss. (WXXV)- The Stone County Economic Development Partnership hosted its fifth annual Black History Month celebration luncheon.

This luncheon honors local leaders, reflecting on progress, and recognizing the work still ahead.

Black History Month is more than a painful look back, it’s a celebration of black excellence that is still shaping every community.

It’s a call to action to continue building opportunity, equity, and economic growth. This luncheon brought together city leaders, business owners, and community members to honor the contributions of African Americans.

While progress has been made, the event speakers made it clear that the work is far from over. Through partnerships, mentorships, and support local businesses, the Stone County Economic Development Partnership continues to uplift and invest in the community.

Continued commitment to supporting one another no matter your race is essential to building a stronger future.
