#ReadIndieForward is excited to support Black-owned bookstores and amplify the voices of Black authors. Black voices, stories, and lives matter—always. We hope that #ReadIndieForward will continue to facilitate the movement to end racism, dismantle white supremacy, support the Black community, and create the change we want to see in the world. It’s time to do the work. Show up and show your support.
