Minneapolis-based restaurant owner Louis Hunter lost his cousin, Philando Castile, at the hands of a police officer. His death was live-streamed on Facebook by his girlfriend. Soon after, Hunter was arrested during a protest and charged with two rioting felonies. He maintained his innocence, and eventually the charges were dropped. He went on to open Trio, the only black-owned vegan restaurant in Minnesota. Trio re-opened this week and is feeding clean-up crews. To support Trio, donate through the restaurant’s GoFundMe.
