    This was the sentence I was looking for. Very good article

    Cultural changes hitting area’s black funeral homes

    When there was a death in Rhonda Jackson’s family, Thomas T. Edwards Funeral Home would be called.

    “They had done the arrangements for my grandfather and my father,” she said.

    For another local black family it might have been another black funeral home, like the iconic H. Alfred Lewis Mortuary on Jefferson Avenue or Memorial Chapels of Buffalo on East Utica Street. And in Niagara Falls, the African-American community turned to Williamson Funeral Home on Main Street.

    This applies to small political parties that control town services.

    Experts say the monopoly that black firms once enjoyed made them complacent.

    Excellent comment here:

    They know we're the only ones in town that serve them') and that no longer works - the complacency - because younger people simply say that they don't care who it's owned by, they refuse to get ripped off or patronize businesses that depend on them because 'where else are they gonna go'.
    This applies to government departments.

    hmm, the last thing on my mind when looking to purchase a service or product is the race of the owner
    Vote for freedom, not political parties.
    Politicians need to cut spending
