Hi everyone! I’m an avid reader but I want to tap into black literature more, especially non fiction, although I’m open to any genre. I’m a young black woman (20F) and I just think it’s important to incorporate black literature and history into my TBR. Please recommend anything! Even the classics. I’m open to newer releases as well. Thanks!

Sorry–not a big nonfiction person–but Ann Petry’s *The Street* (1946) is a great book (of fiction). I actually prefer *Country Place*, but it’s not for everyone. I’d start with *The Street* and see if you like her style.
*The Warmth of Other Suns* by Isabel Wilkerson is an incredible book about the Great Migration. If you’re African-American, talk to your family about it as you read it, it’s something that touched all of us whether we migrated or not.
