WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — WPTV's Diversity Committee hosted an employee celebration in honor of Black History Month.
The celebration began with breakfast provided by Big John’s Eatery, an African-American owned restaurant in West Palm Beach.
Owner John LeJuene said he wants people to feel at home when they come to his restaurant.
"We treat our dining room like it's our living room," said LeJeune. "We want to be the community's favorite brunch spot."
Afterwards, employees stopped by the conference room to see a portion of Ineria Hudnell’s local Black history collection, courtesy of her son Earl Hudnell.
