CINCINNATI — Centuries of Black History are written on the walls and live at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Walnut Hills. Organizers are celebrating Black History Month by hosting a pop-up featuring numerous vendors.
"Our overall interpretation really emphasizes the fact that the house has been the witness to generations using their voice for truth in the nation's struggle towards freedom and humanity for everyone," said Christina Hartlieb, executive director of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House. "And that’s really one of the reasons why we want to embrace the community and be able to offer community events like an entrepreneur pop-up shop."
Hartlieb said tickets are $5 at the door. Community members can sign up for a house tour, an automatic ticket to the pop-up — tickets for a house tour range from $5 to $8. You can clickhere to register for a tour.
Organizers said this pop-up's vendors range from Black health professionals to artists, authors and more.

"We will have a variety of different things at the different booths. So everything from ceramics to books to a Black-owned pharmacy that will be talking to people and then also health and wellness products, ice cream, so a lot of different variety in terms of the entrepreneurs here," Hartlieb said.

Hartlieb said the goal of the pop-up shop is to continue to foster an environment that allows community members to walk through the past and present and look to the future while supporting Black businesses.
The pop-up kicks off at noon and will run until 4 p.m. on Sunday. More information can be found here.
