1977 Books
1977 Books, in Montgomery, Alabama, was born from a diverse monthly book club. This abolitionist haven, founded by Stef Bernal-Martinez and Alison Mollman, is committed to racial justice, social equality, and honoring Montgomery's legacy of resistance. With a curated collection featuring queer, transgender, indigenous, and people of color authors, 1977 Books is a space for learning, healing, and envisioning a world without oppression.
Beyond its shelves of empowering literature, 1977 Books doubles as a vibrant community gathering spot. From book club meetings to storytelling podcasts, this bookstore-turned-sanctuary fosters connections, discussions, and the relentless pursuit of a more just and equitable future.
