- Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own - Eddie S. Glaude Jr. Recommended for everyone, as are all of the works of James Baldwin. Of Baldwin, Glaude writes, “Baldwin’s writing does not bear witness to the glory of America. It reveals the country’s sins, and the illusion of innocence that blinds us to the reality of others. Baldwin’s vision then requires a confrontation with history (with slavery, Jim Crow segregation, with whiteness) to overcome its hold on us. Not to posit the greatness of America, but to establish the ground upon which to imagine the country anew.”
- We Want to Do More Than Survive by Dr. Bettina Love. Especially recommended for current or aspiring educators at all levels.
