About blackPRINT

blackPRINT Bookstore and A Walk In Truth Christian Books were established by Bea Dozier-Taylor at 162 Edgewood Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1988. Since then, this eighteen year-old community-based establishment has served as a cultural oasis, where historical and contemporary literature, art and resources inspire a lively conversation between Bea and her customers about Black people and, as Bea says, “the conditioning our condition is in.”

BLACKPRINT BOOKSTORE is an exceptional resource for Afro-centric products that satisfy the need and desire to increase knowledge about Black culture and to express oneself with authenticity and cultural distinction.

A wide selection of products include books by and about Black people for all ages; home décor furnishings; personal care products; all-occasion and seasonal gifts, including custom gift baskets; greeting cards and wrappings; culturally-specific educational materials; limited edition and open stock prints and posters by us, about us, for us.

A WALK IN TRUTH CHRISTIAN BOOKS, blackPRINT Bookstore’s sister store, is a spiritual resource center for Bibles (all translations and editions); study references; a wide-range of Christian literature and videos including topics on inspiration, prayer and worship; marriage and family devotions; Christian education; leadership training and a wide selection of church supplies.

Together, blackPRINT Bookstore and A Walk In Truth Christian Books highlight the enormous contributions, past and present, that Black people have made to America and the world. The pleasure lies in discovering more and more how these contributions sustain our cultural and spiritual journey as a people of color.

Visit us soon. The conversation is ongoing.
