Antiracist Accountability: Black-Owned Bookstores Update

Hi again,

About two years ago, I wrote a post about Black-owned bookstores that featured a local bookstore I've enjoyed patronizing: Loyalty Bookstore, which is a Black-, Asian-, and Queer-owned independent bookstore in the Maryland and DC area.

Loyalty was recently targeted by hate groups while it hosted a Drag Queen Story Hour.  This seems like a great opportunity to support them as they do the excellent and critically important work of creating safe, joyful spaces for people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and children.

You can support them from anywhere by buying merchandise through their page on bookshop.org.

You can also follow them on Instagram here, where you can learn more about their future events and see staff book recommendations.

Thank you for supporting this and other businesses trying to create light in the darkness.
