Dear Reader,
The Coronavirus pandemic has touched is all in one way or another. I pray we all emerge from this challenge both healthy and financially sound.
We have pushed our annual Black Pack Party, to Wednesday, July 22, 2020.
I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who have purchased books from AALBC. You know I simply can’t get books to you as quickly as Jeff Bezos, but I can help you find books, by Black writers, that you are most likely to enjoy more quickly. I encourage you to watch or listen the video I shared, Black Books in the Age of the Coronavirus; it will help you appreciate the incredible challenges Black booksellers are dealing with now and why we are still optimistic for the future (hint: {{first_name,fallback=Reader}} your power is key).
Finally, consider supporting this newsletter by volunteering to pay for your subscription. If you have already paid for an annual subscription, thank you on behalf of AALBC and the writers whose work you are helping to celebrate.
Peace and Love,
Troy Johnson
Founder & Webmaster, AALBC.com
