February Book Recommendations:
A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams
Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn’t one of them.
The End of Race Politics by Coleman Hughes
Hughes argues for a return to the ideals that inspired the American Civil Rights movement, showing how our departure from the colorblind ideal has ushered in a new era of fear, paranoia, and resentment marked by draconian interpersonal etiquette, failed corporate diversity and inclusion efforts, and poisonous race-based policies that hurt the very people they intend to help.
Medgar and Myrlie by Joy-Ann Reid
On June 12, 1963, Medgar Evers became the highest profile victim of Klan-related assassination of a black civil rights leader at that time; gunned down in the couple’s driveway in Jackson.
Watch Where They Hide by Tamron Hall
After dropping her child off at preschool, Marla Hancock, a stay-at-home mother, disappears.
Ours: A Novel by Phillip B. Williams
In this ingenious, sweeping novel, Phillip B. Williams introduces us to an enigmatic woman named Saint, a fearsome conjuror who, in the 1830s, annihilates plantations all over Arkansas to rescue the people enslaved there.
The American Daughters by Maurice Carlos Ruffin
Ady, a curious, sharp-witted girl, and her fierce mother, Sanite, are inseparable. Enslaved to a businessman in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the pair spend their days dreaming of a loving future and reminiscing about their family’s rebellious and storied history.
Brooklyn learned the art of hustling from her parents who used the church to get money.
