Support Black Authors

Buy their books.

This resource list was created in June 2020 after the murder of George Floyd by a white police officer.
A member of our book group made the request and I would like to share her thoughts with you. See her statement here >>

As for me, the author of this web site, I believe one of the ways to support communities of color is to support Black owned businesses.

So whether you use this list to expand your literary horizons to include more Black writers, or as a way to show financial support by buying their books, I hope you find it useful.
