"After the horrific events in Charlottesville, Va., this past weekend and President Trump's refusal to condemn white supremacist activity," Emily Russo and Josh Christie, owners of Print: A Bookstore, Portland, Maine, have decided, through the end of the year, to donate $5 from the sale of every copy of We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates (being published by One World on October 3) to the Charlottesville nonprofit African American Teaching Fellows, which seeks to increase diversity among teaching staff.
"As store owners, we want to use whatever influence we may have to continue to fight for equality," Russo and Christie added.
