At the time of original printing in the late 1980s, South Central was “73.9% [Black]”. In contrast to our most current census data in 2021, Los Angeles is now 8.8% Black. In the 10th Congressional District where our bookstore resides, it is 25.43% Black, despite being one of the few predominantly Black communities left in LA.

In contrast to our most current census data in 2021, Los Angeles is now 8.8% Black. In the 10th Congressional District where our bookstore resides, it is 25.43% Black, despite being one of the few predominantly Black communities left in LA.
