The new 2023-24 Macon-Middle Georgia Black Pages & Resource Guide reflects on this historical journey and highlights significant dates, events, individuals, and institutions that contribute to a deeper understanding of the African American experience. The featured section of “The Black Pages” is one of the most popular parts of the publication, as it is inspiring to see how this remarkable history has enriched the lives of not only African Americans but all who call our community home.

“Since 1991, The Black Pages has served as the premier resource for emphasizing the important role that African American businesses and consumers play in the economic development of our community,” says Alex C. Habersham, Publisher of the Macon-Middle Georgia Black Pages. Black consumers spend over $3.5 billion annually in Middle Georgia. Habersham adds that “…the demand for a publication of this type reinforces the principle that when one segment of the population begins to do better economically and becomes self-sufficient, the entire community generally benefits.”
