Florist John Caleb Pendleton is helping Black men bloom, one arrangement at a time. Black men can nominate other Black men to receive free flowers.
Pendleton surprised coffee shop owner George Davis Junior as the first Chicago recipient of the Black Men Flower Project.
Davis shared his reaction: "I am speechless, still kind of trying to figure out how to process it, but it is a beautiful thing. And the second thing in my mind was, how can I pay it forward?" The project is encouraging Black men to root for each other. And the flowers serve as a symbol of the beauty that can come out of that show of support.
"I'm very excited. We've raised a good amount of money so we can do this every week for the next three plus months. But we want to keep doing this," Pendleton said.
