The Best Books About Black History and Identity - Page 2

Just because Black History Month is over doesn't mean the learning of Black history stops. Take this time to look around your bookshelf to see what you think you need. Personally, I think everyone can benefit from having more Black history literature in their home. I think there is so much to discover about the Black experience, I don't think you can have too many books about Black identity and history.
