From the Founder

Why The Reading Room Exists

I created the Reading Room because I wanted a place to collect the books, museums, neighborhoods, businesses, and resources that helped me see Black history in a new way.

This isn't a complete library. It's a growing collection built through curiosity, travel, and a desire to learn the stories we were never taught.

Whether you're just beginning your journey or looking to go deeper, I hope you'll find something here that inspires you to keep exploring.
