The mission of the Boricongo Book Gang is to honor reading as a tool of achieving personal consciousness of our realities as POC. By reading works written specifically by writers of color we achieve a stronger connection and understanding of our community and other BIPOC communities. Through this, we honor the ancestors who risked and sacrificed their lives to obtain the powerful tool of literacy.  This is not an exclusion of any reader but a direct and intentional focus on the works we read.
