Books for Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, here are some books I've read that have educated me and helped me view my role as a White person in both perpetuating and working to eliminate racial injustice towards my Black brothers and sisters.

• "It's the Little Things: Everyday Interactions That Anger, Annoy, and Divide the Races" by Lena Williams.
• "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn.
• "Uprooting Racism: How White People can Work for Social Justice" by Paul Kivel.
• "A Country of Strangers: Blacks and Whites in America" by David Shipley.
• "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" by Harriet Jacobs.
• "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou.
• "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison.
• "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong" by James Loewen.
• "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Freire (if you're really feeling academic...)
• "The Wind Done Gone" by Alice Randall.
• "Slaves in the Family" by Edward Ball.
• "Cane River" by Lalita Tademy.
• "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison.
• "Black Boy" by Richard Wright.

Good reads, all.
