NAACP Cultural Connections Online Directory
August 2006

This directory was created for residents and visitors of the New River Valley. Readers can use the directory to learn about the businesses, churches, and organizations that are owned or primarily patronized by Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos or Asian Americans.

The directory was first created by the Montgomery County-Radford City-Floyd County chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and updated in 2006 by the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Virginia Tech. The current revision of the directory includes additional businesses, churches and other organizations owned or primarily patronized by Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asians, with some of these organizations located in Roanoke, VA.

The entries in this directory are categorized by ethnic group and type of organization. There may be other businesses, churches, and organizations in these categories that are not listed. Readers are encouraged to assist the Office of Multicultural Affairs by submitting corrections and or additions to Jody Thompson. Please see contact information below for Cultural Connections Directory.
