Help Give a Book to a Black Child!
2/3/11
I'm so excited! Denene and I have launched a new site, NorthParan.com, that we think could change the way that black books are sold. For every book that we sell on the site, we will donate a free book to a needy black child. We believe that NorthParan.com boasts the most comprehensive collection of books by and about black people ever compiled on the web. So please go over to NorthParan.com RIGHT NOW and help a child by purchasing a book!
