Loewen's, Lies My Teacher Told Me; Afua Cooper's, The_Hanging_of_Angelique; Ashley Montagu, The Natural Superiority of a Women; Dr. William Chancellor, The Destruction of Black Civilization - Great Issues of a Race From 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D., and Eric Williams', Capitalism and Slavery.

He has left the physical world as we know it, however, it seems such a beautiful consciousness would return to the "ground", the "immeasurable" from whence all emanates, and/or continue to affect a change in all consciousness. His name is Jiddu Krishnamurti, almost all his works, books and videos are free, you can visit the website too.
I personally recommend The Only Revolution, and The First and Last Freedom.
