National Black Bookstore Day (April 7) declared by NABB

Publishers Weekly covers the National Association of Black Bookstores declaring April 7 National Black Bookstore Day - an anchor for shopping, author events, and visibility for stores that still fight thin margins and uneven distribution.

The day matters because discovery is structural: without marketing oxygen, even great shops struggle. For readers outside major cities, it's a prompt to find the nearest Black-owned store and put money on the counter, not only performative likes.
