A Happily Required List of Book Recommendations for Black History Month!

Black History is made every single day. Every Black American achievement now and today began in the past with the ancestors who paved the way, and the current achievements pave the way for new history later. This is a perfect occasion to recommend books of the moment we will talk about for years to come.

Each reader and discussion lights up the minds of today and the future, so please do explore these titles.
