This picture book tells the true story of Lewis Michaux Sr. and his famous National Memorial African Bookstore in Harlem during the Civil Rights Movement. Through the eyes of his young son, we learn how Michaux created a vibrant community hub where Black people could discover their history, discuss ideas, and organize for change. The store's motto—'Knowledge is Power. Buy a Book'—inspired generations of thinkers, artists, and activists. This story celebrates the power of books to build community and fight for freedom.
