The Souls of Black Folk By W.E.B Du Bois
The Souls of Black Folk is a classic piece of literature. Many of the concepts in this book such as double consciousness, the color line, and the veil are now matriculated into the field of sociology. W.E.B Du Bois writes with passion and eloquence in regards to the pain and tension of the black experience.
Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together In the Cafeteria by Beverly Tatum
Beverely Tatum wrote this phenomenal book about the role self segregation and racial tensions have in the American public education system. Self segregation in mixed raced schools goes as far as to which races sit together at the lunch table. Her prolific research on the psychology of racism is still relevant today and is what allowed her to update her 1997 copy to a new and improved 20th anniversary edition.
Seize The Time by Bobby Seale
Seize The Time is written by activist and co founder of the Black Panther Party, Bobby Seale. This book is the story of how the Black Panther Party came into fruition with the support of co founders Bobby Seale and Huey Newton. This prolific book will never get old because it teaches the power organization has to fight racism, classism, and injustice.
