The Latina Book Club
supports our Black Brothers and Sisters and our Afro Latinx / Black Latinx Communities
during these hard times.
Black Lives
Matter.
We See You. We Hear You. We Support You.
Aside from donating
money to the different organizations supporting the movement and the
protesters, we want to support Afro-Latinx / Black Latinx authors by purchasing
and reading their books. Below is a
short list in no particular order. We
welcome additions to this list.
Happy Reading. Take care and Stay Safe.
