In Black-Owned, NBC News reporter Char Adams traces the powerful history of Black-owned bookstores as vital centers of activism, culture, and community. From the first abolitionist bookshop in 1834 to the hubs of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements--and today's new generation inspired by Black Lives Matter--Adams reveals how these spaces have fueled liberation through books, ideas, and collective action. Blending rigorous research with vivid storytelling, Black-Owned celebrates resilience, joy, and the enduring power of Black community spaces.
