Hello everyone, in the wake of these continued senseless killings or rather murders by the police in the United States, I am hoping this post will bring a slight smile even if it is for a brief second in those of you who want to support black-owned businesses. No matter where you are in the world, you can order some books and comics from the black-owned bookstores we have organized for you right below.

Before I give you guys the list, I must say I am proud of every single one of these stores and their employees for the time and effort they take to make sure they can provide books for the black communities they serve.

We will continually update this list each month. If you’d like to suggest a black-owned bookstore, especially those that take online orders, please send it to [email protected]
