Books That You Can Read To Eduate Yourself On Black History
Hey Y’all ! I hope everyone has been safe among everything that has been going on in this country. We are living in history right now and it is nice to see people stepping up to the plate and letting their voices be heard. It is so important that we continue to not only speak out, but educate ourselves on black history. I put together a list of some books that I have read and decided to share them with you all. You don’t have to buy these books all at once, but definitely look into them because they reveal a lot information that people should be aware of, but a lot of people aren’t. If you are a person of color reading this, way back then we didn’t even have the privilege to get an education and read because of how much knowledge you gain from reading a book. To be a leader you have to be a reader so don’t undermine that. The books that I listed give great insight on the topic of race.
