The Black Reserve Bookstore
Shaykh Anwar Muhammad opened this Main Street shop in 2017 after being told the nearest Black literature was a 30-minute drive into Philadelphia; it has since grown to four times its original size. Books share the shelves with natural soaps and apparel, and the back doubles as a spot for mentorship and long conversations.
