Preordered thru Bookshop so my local independent bookstore (Goldberry Books, Concord, NC) gets the money. I’d love for you to come here on your book tour! David Kern is the owner of Goldberry Books. Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉🎈❤️

HBD/Earth Day, Dr. Tisby! Might the book cover & your poster-reveal be printed on bookmarks & posters for advertising the book outside social media? (And I learned the public library can’t preorder books so I’ll request again after its release.) Could they be available with your “Justice Takes Sides” gear? Thanks! (I wonder if more folks will read your 2nd book, “How to Fight Racism,” after they read “The Spirit of Justice” with its inspiration for action. Can your youth versions be adapted as graphic novels? (esp paperback copies.) Even the anticipation for “The Spirit of Justice” brings hope! Thanks!

I just started the Color of Comprimise, so I am not preordering your new book right now. For me it gets overwhelming to have too high a stack of books to read. Hoping, however, others will order.

Done. Estileta’s Library, Seattle, Black owned…

I/we need inspiration. It’s so hard out here. Black leaders and stories carry us when we cannot take another step.

Happy Birthday 🦾

Roanoke, Virginia, would love to host you for a book tour and a speaking engagement on race and reparations. Please send an estimate of your fees to Jennie Waering at JWaering1102@gmail.com. BTW, I am a subscriber and I have lead 4 book studies of Color of Compromise and have read How to Fight Racism.

Pre-ordered through Bookshop. We have a good local independent bookstore (Boulder Bookstore) here in Boulder, Colorado, and they host book tour events regularly. I have no idea how those events get set up, though. Let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks. Jim Carpenter
