LANSDALE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- When Shaykh Anwar Muhammad moved to Lansdale, he noticed there weren't many options when it came to learning Black culture & history.

That's why he created his very own business, the 'Black Reserve Bookstore' in 2017. The small shop on Main Street opens its doors for all walks of life to learn something new.

"If more people took the time to learn about other cultures, I think things would be a lot better," said Muhammad.

Aside from selling all kinds of books, the shop is a hub for education, book readings, signings, speeches, and biannual school supply giveaways.
