Left Bank Books, where leaders are nourished: "Left Bank Books was always the place where I knew I could find the writers that were not being carried on other bookshelves, the subjects that wee not being carried on other bookshelves and most importantly, I knew Left Bank Books was going to be a business that stood up for my community. They continue to do that so now its time for us to stand up for them" -- Brittany Packnett Cunningham, in an LBB virtual event with Paola Ramos, 10.23.2020 https://www.facebook.com/LeftBankBooks.STL/videos/797474317462583
