A Small Place Bookshop, located in Avondale Estates, is committed to amplifying Black voices by prioritizing works from Black authors and thinkers. The bookstore's owners believe in the power of literature to inspire and provoke thought, creating an environment where challenging discussions can take place. By featuring a diverse range of books, they seek to address the lack of representation often found in mainstream bookstores.
