Ibram X. Kendi's List of Reading Suggestions

From Ibram X. Kendi's "An Antiracist Reading List: Ibram X. Kendi on books to help America transcend its racist heritage," New York Times Book Review, May, 29, 2019, Reprinted May 2020.   

"No one becomes “not racist,” despite a tendency by Americans to identify themselves that way. We can only strive to be “antiracist” on a daily basis, to continually rededicate ourselves to the lifelong task of overcoming our country’s racist heritage."
