Black History Month Reading

I both love to learn about and am ever empowered by the study of Black History. This Black History Month, I would love to finish the following works:

  • "Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story" (original comic from Fellowship of Reconciliation published during Civil Rights Movement)
    • This was a great reminder of the powerful love, faith and non-violence at the core of the Civil Rights Movement.
  • The Shadows of Youth: The Remarkable Journey of the Civil Rights Generation by Andrew B. Lewis (2009)
  • A More Beautiful and Terrible History: The Uses and Misuses of Civil Rights History by Jeanne Theoharis (2018)
    • This book was not a quick read, but I learned a ton!
  • We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates (2017)
I'm putting it in writing so that I hold myself accountable!
