Sister’s Uptown Bookstore and Cultural Center, the only Black-owned bookstore in Manhattan, is at risk of closing after 25 years due to pandemic-related struggles, gentrification, and declining sales.

Owner Janifer Wilson is crowdfunding to stay open, emphasizing the store’s role as a community hub for literacy, cultural education, and events.

A fundraiser is scheduled for July 25 to celebrate the bookstore’s anniversary and rally support for its survival.

Nearly 300 officers will patrol about 150 trains in phase one of the safety enforcement.
