KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Willa Robinson first opened her bookstore, she said it was a new way to channel her hobby of book collecting, but more than 10 years later, it's now the only Black-owned brick-and-mortar bookstore in Kansas City.
"I had books all over the house and my husband said, 'We've got to do something,' so I decided I was going to sell," Robinson said.
Willa's Books and Vinyl is packed with hundreds of books, magazines and records from wall-to-wall and ceiling to floor. Readers can find everything from 30-year-old Ebony Magazines to A Promised Land, a memoir by former president Barack Obama.
