The rest of us are sitting around waiting to get fitted for our spacesuit after we win the contest to be a billionaire’s guest. The contest benefits the 1950s-1960s actor Danny Thomas’ children’s hospital, St. Jude. As we waited with bated breath, President Barack Obama is going for something else.
The new US president’s (Joe Biden) US president (Obama) is promoting some very special entities. Many of us have been watching the tragic decline of small independent bookstores, but like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, the coronavirus has forced us to make uncounted changes.
President Obama is lifting out his hand in support of this black-owned bookstore, Mahogany Books:
‘Black-owned independent bookstores play a critical role in communities all across our country. I wanted to show my support, so I dropped in to surprise the folks from @MahoganyBooks & the Very Smart Brothas Book Club. Take a look.’
