April 7th is National Black Bookstore Day 📚✊🏾

Today we celebrate the spaces that have always been more than bookstores—they’ve been centers for knowledge, culture, resistance, and community. Here in Detroit, we stand on the legacy of those who paved the way, like Vaughn’s Bookstore and The Shrine of the Black Madonna, whose presence helped shape what it means to have access to Black literature and thought in our city.

Today is a day to support and learn more about Black bookstores and booksellers around you. Pull up, tap in, and take something meaningful home 🤎
