Author Carleen Brice officially welcomes whites into the African American section of the bookstore, and asks that in December everybody buy a book by a black author and give it to somebody not black. Please note the Tattered Cover Book Stores do not do not have an African American fiction section. They were kind enough to allow me to film in one of their stores, but they don't endorse this video and it doesn't reflect their store policies or opinions.

  • I love the message! creative way to get the message across. I'm going to check your book out and I invite you to check out mine too: I Found My Voice by Karen Entrantt via lulu.com. Thanks!

  • Good video with great message. We also have published some books that might interest a lot of people and we are promoting "OCCUPY EDUCATION."

    Buy a book and give it to someone -- a student, teacher, coach, youth group leader, or others.

  • LOL...I love it! You are so cool for creating this. Very true. However, for a people who were enslaved for 300-400 years, in some aspects (About 150 years later??) we are doing okay. Remember, european-american's writing has been more acceptable in this country since it first began. This is part of the reason why black's section is so small. But we shall keep pressing on and we shall keep on writing. Hannah Faye (Chicago Author of A Rapper's College) wwwdotarapperscollegedotweebly­­dotcom.

  • I LOVED THIS VIDEO!

  • LOOOOOOOOL hillarious :D very true though... like where I love it's hard to find books by black authors.

  • I'm back again. Just letting you all know that people I have a few people buying Black Isis. Thanks for the emails. Show your support those that haven't. Thanks!

  • Hello everyone. I'm a new black author, and I'm twenty-five years old. I just recently published a new novel titled Black Isis. It's a crime thriller story that I had been writing now for over ten years. There will be other subsequent books. But either check out my channel, or type in the title of the book at amazon.com or barnes and noble's site. Thanks for the support!

  • type in YMRASU...on Youtube...lol...its awsome

  • Can't wait to read Orange Mint and Honey. I also love and admire Maya Angelou and Alice Walker because my goal is to be a published author. ^^

  • Hilarious! But you KNOW that is the truth...I think they may be a bit afraid to venture into "that section", probably because, honestly, WE would be looking like, "FOR REAL?" lol. Great Job! Love the blogs too. Peace and Blessings.
