Johnathan's Bookshelf presents Black Kings Read. A literary weekly podcast show with book discussions, author interviews, book reviews, and issues in literacy with an African American male point of view. The mission of Black Kings Read is to change the paradigm of illiteracy with the African American male community: no longer accepting the status quo "if you want to hide money from a Black man, put it in a book." We encourage all Black men to join our book discussions. We appreciate the literary community at large for their support.
