Wednesday, November 10th from 3-5pm PST/ 5-7pm CST/ 6-8pm EST
During the 1960s and 70s, there was a proliferation of Black publishing and literature. This literature not only carried forth our culture but spread our political thought throughout our communities. Central to this effort was the Black bookstore. The bookstore became a central pillar in the Black community, a hub for organizing and cultural resistance.
In our current moment of regressive politics and overdevelopment that is displacing many from their home communities, we are seeing the loss of Black spaces and a shift in the cultural makeup of the communities we call home. Building on the legacy of the Black bookstore, a new generation is drawing from the strategies.
Join us for an interactive, intergenerational conversation on the political importance of Black publishing and bookstores, and the cultural strategies of resistance that we can bring forward to reclaim and create Black space.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
This Circle is FREE.
