Dear Readers,

This year, we celebrate Black History Month in the midst of an ongoing pandemic that hits independent businesses and Black communities and other communities of color especially hard. We thank you for joining us in supporting independent—and especially Black-owned—bookstores, and we invite you to continue to do so.

Here is a list of Black-owned indie bookstores across the country* to support this month and all year long.
