Opening in 1986, The Houston Bookstore and Cultural Center has been at the center of cultural experience in the 4th largest city in the country for over 20 years. As a landmark of cultural expression and a beacon to those in search of light, we, the Houston staff and membership, take pride in what we do.

Our objective as an institution of higher learning is to provide an excellent learning environment for all ethnic groups by allowing those of different backgrounds an opportunity to learn about African and African-American culture, history and experience.
