#BHMReadingChallenge! There are 4 weeks of #BHM2020, so I want to issue a challenge. I want Black folks to recommend 4 Black-authored books in 4 genres they think non-Black folks should read. Then I want non-Black folks to post the books they read this month. Got it?
Potential genres for #BHMReadingChallenge: fiction, creative non-fiction, academic non-fiction, poetry, memoir/autobiography, YA, children’s, graphic novel...
Here are mine:
-Pleasure Activism by @adriennemaree (essays & interviews)
-Homie by @Danez_Smif (poetry)
-Medical Apartheid by @haw95 (academic)
-Kindred by @OctaviaEButler (fiction, but also there’s a graphic novel adaptation by @DamianD2Duffy & @JIJennings)
#BHMReadingChallenge
Ok so Black folks (& Black folks only), share your recommendations. Non-Black folks, start reading! When you’ve finished a book then you can share with the hashtag. And don’t forget to support your local independent booksellers! #BHMReadingChallenge #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth
