What would you say if you learned the CEO of a prominent bookselling consortium was caught emailing racist images?
If you’re unsure, here’s your opportunity to find out.
On Wednesday, Allison Hill — chief executive officer for nonprofit trade group American Booksellers Association — issued a letter of apology.
The head of the independent book store-promoting organization expressed remorse over incorporating a particular book cover in a collection on the official website.
As reported by The Daily Wire, the post was meant to provide publicity for black fiction writers.
Allison had intended to spotlight a teen romance collection by authors Dhonielle Clayton, Angie Thomas, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon.
