TEN BOOKS EVERY BLACK PERSON SHOULD READ
I never thought I would be creating a top ten list of books. It’s impossible to narrow down all of the great literature out there, and even harder to specify it among racial lines. Different books speak to us for different reasons, and it’s difficult to pin down the top ten books that someone else should read. The following list will include ten of the books that have resonated with me the most. They do not appear in any particular order, and they all are immensely important to me. I don’t know what kind of person I would be today if I had not encountered these works of literature. With a humble mind, and a sharing heart, here are my top ten book recommendations.

I respect your top ten. My top ten would include cathy cohen’s “punks, bulldaggers, and welfare queens: the radical potential of queer politics” and dorothy roberts’ “killing the black body”
