Join Glory Edim (Well-Read Black Girl), Marc Lamont Hill (Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee & Books) Katie Mitchell (Prose to the People) for a powerful virtual workshop exploring how Black bookstores have historically resisted censorship and what we can learn from their strategies to combat today’s book bans.

This event will explore the history of book bans, their disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, and the creative ways Black bookstores have fought back—building counter-institutions, making banned books accessible, and fostering communal learning.
