PROSE TO THE PEOPLE A Celebration of Black Bookstores

A group of fine narrators present this historical celebration of Black bookstores in America. Joy and respect imbue the voices as they bring to life the history, activism, and community building that Black bookstores have provided for generations. The narrators are vibrant as they deliver accounts of more than 50 bookstores and their cultural and historical impact. Interspersed with the commemorative essays are poems, observances, and recollections by journalists, academics, poets, and other writers. The variety of voices is appropriate for the many stories and venues celebrated, giving the listener a deeper appreciation for the history presented. Experienced voice actors Adenrele Ojo, Cary Hite, Tashi Thomas, and Landon Woodson join Katie Mitchell in this informative celebration. C.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
