Today we are excited to kick off a bi-weekly series featuring some of the country’s Black-owned bookstores. These small businesses, many of which have been impacted by Covid-19, are vital voices in their communities and we’re happy to share their stories with readers everywhere.
Source Booksellers in Detroit’s Midtown District has been owned and operated by mother-daughter team Janet Webster Jones and Alyson Jones Turner since 1989.
Specializing in adult and children’s nonfiction, with a focus on history and culture, women and the arts, health, well-being, and spirituality, the duo has served generations for more than 30 years.
Here are the essential reads Janet Webster Jones is recommending for her readers this week.
