THE CONCEPT: Underground Books and More was a name and concept conceived from a book written by Beverly Jenkins titled “Indigo” and this story is about the struggle of blacks during the 1860’s.  It paints a picture of what our live   s were like and what the “Underground Railroad” meant to us as a people.  The Underground Railroad was hope during what most thought of as a hopeless time in our lives.  Just as Christ is to us today.   UB&M is owned and operated by Ikia Young.  Ikia is a native Tulsan, who is a proud graduate of Booker T.
