Longtime NBC News reporter Char Adams writes a deeply compelling and rigorously reported history of Black political movements told through the lens of Black-owned bookstores, which have been centers for organizing from abolition to the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter.


In Black-Owned, Char Adams celebrates the living history of Black bookstores. Packed with stories of activism, espionage, violence, community, and perseverance, Black-Owned starts with the first Black-owned bookstore, which an abolitionist opened in New York in 1834, and after the bookshop’s violent demise, Black book-lovers carried on its cause. In the twentieth century, civil rights and Black Power activists started a Black bookstore boom nationwide. Malcolm X gave speeches in front of the National Memorial African Book Store in Harlem—a place dubbed “Speakers’ Corner”—and later, Black bookstores became targets of FBI agents, police, and racist vigilantes. Still, stores continued to fuel Black political movements.

Amid these struggles, bookshops were also places of celebration: Eartha Kitt and Langston Hughes held autograph parties at their local Black-owned bookstores. Maya Angelou became the face of National Black Bookstore Week. And today a new generation of Black activists is joining the radical bookstore tradition, with rapper Noname opening her Radical Hood Library in Los Angeles and several stores making national headlines when they were overwhelmed with demand in the Black Lives Matter era. As Adams makes clear, in an time of increasing repression, Black bookstores are needed now more than ever.

Full of vibrant characters and written with cinematic flair, Black-Owned is an enlightening story of community, resistance, and joy.

Clean ingredients, Clean skin!
I’ve been using this since 2022 & I’ve been loving it ever since! I really love the exfoliation you get from the scrub & the coffee smell. What really drew me to it was the clean ingredients. My skin feels some much smoother after using this! Only con is how much you get for the price. I think one container only last me 3-5 showers. Im also not the biggest fan of how much oil is in there because I simetimes don’t feel like I’ve gotten all the dead skin off, but it’s under a layer of oil so I have To wash my body again to get that layer of oil off to try to exfoliate and get all the dead skin off. Other than that, it’s a great product!

Oily and can burn
Does make skin smooth and can help with dry skin, but that’s because it leaves an oil on the skin. It can be helped by drying with a towel. It can burn sensitive skin until rinsed. I’ve used it for a couple weeks now. Smells good, but I don’t like the oily texture it leaves and it could moisturize the skin better.
