  • Black-Owned Publishers
    List compiled by Book Riot-  Black-owned publishers and presses have long been a part of the American publishing industry. The 1960s and 1970s especially saw a massive boom in black-owned publishers, with presses—both general and specialized—springing up in cities across the country. Though many of these small, independent, black-owned publishing houses have since ceased to operate, some are still thriving today. This is a list compiled by BookRiot.
