Bluestockings at 172 Allen Street, New York, New York.

Bluestockings represents the soul that once proudly displayed itself on the streets and in shops like this on the doomed and ridiculous island of Manhattan! Alas, 6 figure consumerism and disneyfied tourism have gentrified nearly everything to the outer Burroughs. But at Bluestockings there is respite. Herein lie the books to stretch your mind. You don't have to agree with any of it, but you have to be aware, acknowledge and accept the shoes of the other. I picked up Radical Hope: Letters of Love and Dissent in Dangerous Times. I would argue that a well versed knowledge of history verifies that there has never been anything but dangerous times. Nonetheless, the authors of these letters are physically, emotionally and mentally threatened on a daily basis. Wake up white people! There are two kinds of people in this world, books can open the mind to righteousness. btw, that is a random photo of a random dude at the store.
