I just received a message from a friend (we are in bookclub together via Facebook). She asked if I knew of a way to find out where she could support black bookstore owners.
This is a crazy, turbulent time in our country. I urge you to support your cause in the way you see fit, whether it be a donation to the ACLU, BLM, or other organizations. As always, do your homework, Make sure that you are supporting a legal, legitimate organization and be aware of where your donation is going and who it is supporting. Be aware of copycat agencies that "borrow" logos, press, images, etc. from legitimate organizations. Go to their website. Read their ABOUT section, follow the links, ask questions. Be proactive in your activism.
Back to my friend:
I made it my job for the day to figure that out...then I came upon an article that lays it all out. If you are a book lover (like me), head to one of the shops linked in the article (I did), and place an order (I did that, too).
