Black Owned Bookstores In NYC

I visited NYC back in July and ended up in a black-owned bookstore in Harlem. Was an interesting place, militant and Communist-oriented. I think it was Revolution Books? Anyone here familiar with it?

Yeah. It's on 132nd and Lenox. They recently moved up here from West 26th St in Chelsea in 2015. It's white socialist owned. I've seen people from there, handing out flyers in front of the Whole Foods on 125th. They were all white. Black people do work there and are a part of them, but we don't own it.

Revolution Books is not black owned though. They recently moved up here from West 26th St in Chelsea in 2015. It's white socialist owned.

Ah, okay. Thought it was a black-owned store (didn't see any white people working there). Thanks for the info.
