Currently, my favorite Black history books are books that talk about womanism (Black feminism), Black LGBTQ+ identities, and the sociological impact of racism and anti-Blackness. It’s one thing to learn heroes, which we should strive to educate ourselves on. But it’s critical to seek more insight into how Black people navigate in society as it relates to pop culture, activism, and identity intersections. Here are 12 additional titles to add to your bookshelf.
