Black History Month Recommended Reads

It’s Black History Month ! Fill your TBR stack for the year with this collection of books from writers you may know and others who might be new to you. Please share, purchase, shout, review, and give these writers a follow.

Storytelling has been a way to preserve history and heritage, however, we are living in a time of erasure. Now more than ever we must support writers and books that are in the margins or banned. Change starts with us.
