Independent bookstores owned by Black people have been around for decades. The oldest in the country is Oakland, California's .books, which opened its doors in 1960 and is still in business today. There are now 133 other Black-owned establishments in the country, and though they make up just 6 percent of indie bookselling companies in the U.S., they're home to powerful works that serve to educate and amplify vital voices.

Every year, ASALH curates the national Black History Month theme, carrying forward the legacy of our founder, Dr. Carter G. Woodson—the Father of Black History. Yet today, we face growing efforts to diminish, distort, or even erase Black History Month.

This , ASALH proudly presents the 2025 theme: African Americans & Labor. From enslaved workers to union organizers, entrepreneurs to essential workers, Black labor has been the backbone of this nation. Join us on February 22nd for the 2025 BHM Luncheon as we honor the invaluable contributions of Black individuals across all fields of labor.
