Longtime NBC News reporter Char Adams writes a deeply compelling and rigorously reported history of Black political movements told through the lens of Black-owned bookstores, which have been centers for organizing from abolition to the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter.


In Black-Owned, Char Adams celebrates the living history of Black bookstores. Packed with stories of activism, espionage, violence, community, and perseverance, Black-Owned starts with the first Black-owned bookstore, which an abolitionist opened in New York in 1834, and after the bookshop’s violent demise, Black book-lovers carried on its cause. In the twentieth century, civil rights and Black Power activists started a Black bookstore boom nationwide. Malcolm X gave speeches in front of the National Memorial African Book Store in Harlem—a place dubbed “Speakers’ Corner”—and later, Black bookstores became targets of FBI agents, police, and racist vigilantes. Still, stores continued to fuel Black political movements.

Amid these struggles, bookshops were also places of celebration: Eartha Kitt and Langston Hughes held autograph parties at their local Black-owned bookstores. Maya Angelou became the face of National Black Bookstore Week. And today a new generation of Black activists is joining the radical bookstore tradition, with rapper Noname opening her Radical Hood Library in Los Angeles and several stores making national headlines when they were overwhelmed with demand in the Black Lives Matter era. As Adams makes clear, in an time of increasing repression, Black bookstores are needed now more than ever.

Full of vibrant characters and written with cinematic flair, Black-Owned is an enlightening story of community, resistance, and joy.

Smallish pills!
Great way to take melatonin. The pills are small enough so you don't choke and they work pretty fast. I've no idea about the taste, but it doesn't seem to have one. Sometimes I feel groggy in the morning but not overly so. Pretty good product.

Best if you haven't had any real sleep
Works like a charm, I haven't had any real sleep for 13 days and ever since I got this, I finally got the 7 - 10 hour sleep I needed badly. It does make you drowsy and tired and thats what I love about it, this is day 4 of using it and I dont think I'll ever stop lol, the taste is normal like its not bad just bland, easy to swallow lol (thats what she said)

Great!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
My first impression was that the bottle looks nice. The information is clear and the dosage is easy to find. The pills themselves are slightly bigger than other capsules that I have, but this isn't a bad thing. I didn't find them hard to swallow. The smell is pleasant, which is a huge plus! I love the immunity and antioxidant support, that is exactly what I was looking for! Overall, I am happy with the product, and it has been great so far!
