Black English Bookstore

This HBCU Legacy Project LLC / Black English Bookstore channel is all about "Centering Blackness".  We are talking about Black Books and Black Colleges.

Black English Bookstore derives from an essay written by James Baldwin who said, "Language, incontestably, reveals the speaker." Founder, Gwendolyn Henderson, is committed to the return of a black-owned bookstore nestled in the inner city of Tampa.  She has lovingly curated reading options representing voices to elevate a distinct culture and community and places blackness at the center, while adding Tampa to the 6% of black-owned independent bookstores in the United States.

The Black English Bookstore will be a hub for sharing information and elevating Historically Black Colleges and Universities to ignite interest in the next generation of black college graduates. Additionally, we offer the HBCU Educator Box, HBCU Grad Gift Box and the HBCU College Interactive Planner and Workbook written and self-published by the BEB Founder.
