Happy Easter! We are indeed open (until 5PM) and grappling with faith. We know that Easter can be an acutely somber time for those of us - especially those of us who are Black and gay - who have suffered religious trauma but haven't quite found the heart with which to abandon faith. If nothing else, because of those women we call our grandmothers who taught us love and reverence. It is a strange feeling.

We've really enjoyed watching you all chip away at this puzzle. What a collective effort!!! We tried for a while to contain the lone pieces to the block, but you have insisted on the sprawl across tables, so we gave up our little protest. It is nice to see the tops of the tables again ☺️🖤

Originally published in 1982, All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men, But Some of Us Are Brave: Black Women's Studies is the first comprehensive collection of black feminist scholarship. Featuring essays by Alice Walker, the Combahee River Collective, and Barbara Smith, and original resources, this book is vital to today's conversation on race and gender in America.

Morning! A gentleman called the bookstore this week looking for a book on CD - rare for us, but it happens from time to time.

But on thus note - we have a cute and mighty cluster of Libro.fm members who have been supporting the bookstore pretty consistently over the months. Thank you 🥰 Thought we might take the time to spotlight this lesser known service we offer through Libro.fm. Link in Bio or, if you are readingbthis on FB libro[dot]fm/rofhiwabooks
