This pilot program builds off of a great idea shared by a member of ABA’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council (DEIC) — and feedback from other DEIC members, members of ABA’s Bookseller Advisory Council, members of ABA staff, and other BIPOC ABA members. It was modeled to emulate similar programs in colleges and universities to welcome and acclimate students of color to campuses at predominantly white institutions. This was created in our continuing effort to support booksellers of color and our commitment to antiracism, equity, access, and representation.
