ABOUT US - OUR MISSION

Preserving Our Historic Literary Writers and Culture

​

Best Richardson African Diaspora Literature & Culture Museum is a non-profit family, veteran, and woman-owned business that requests your support as we attempt to expand our services.  We opened a rare bookstore in 1997 and began this project with our personal limited funds two years ago. BRADLC is dedicated to the education and enlightenment of diverse audiences of both students and adults. Our mission is to highlight the literary contributions of people of the African Diaspora whose ancestors were forced into enslavement and forbidden to read or write for centuries under colonization. When their descendants finally were allowed to read, they were segregated and given outdated books and poor structures in which to learn. The effects of this history still exist today, so we honor our ancestors by showcasing their literature and rich culture in our museum.

Our accompanying bookstore sells books of African Diaspora Literature, History & Culture,  Children's, Indigenous, Genealogy, Women's Studies, and Military. We sell Leather-Bound, 1st Editions, Signed, and Antiquarian. We specialize in Authentic African jewelry, Gullah Geechee, and African Cultural Art, Baskets and Crafts, Representative Dolls, Figurines.

We provide our customers with knowledge of educational artifacts, genealogy classes, and information on African Diaspora literary and cultural history.  Our bookstore also carried exceptional used, rare and new books, high-quality gift items, and reliable service to our customers.
