We are kicking off Black History Month with James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time, which galvanized the nation in the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, and stands as one of the essential works of our literature.

Next on our recommended list is The Vanishing Half. "From the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing." https://t.co/Cfkc4Xb5FM
