Black History For Every Day of the Year

Some books are made for one long sitting. This one is made for every morning.

Here is a 366-day guide to important figures, events, and media from Black history, with one entry for each day of the year, leap day included. Open to today’s date and begin with a single story. Maybe it’s a name you’ve known for years, or maybe it’s one you’re meeting for the first time.

That’s the joy of a book like this. It rewards small, steady moments of discovery:

• A daily ritual to pair with your coffee or tea
• A way to learn about people, milestones, and creative works that shaped history
• A conversation-starter for families, classrooms, and community book groups
• A thoughtful gift for curious readers of many ages

Because it’s organized by date, there’s no wrong way in. Start on January 1st, or open to today. Skip around, or linger on an entry that catches you. Read it aloud at the breakfast table, tuck it on a nightstand, or keep it by your favorite chair.

Here at the shop, nestled in Perkins Cove, we love books that invite you back again and again. This trade paperback sits comfortably in the hand and is easy to browse, with the kind of pages you’ll want to return to long after the sea fog rolls in.

A year of history, one day at a time. Stop by and say hello, or bring it home with you.
