Did you know that October is National Book Month? Oh, I hear you: “Thanks for telling us now that the month is almost over.” Well, just because the month is over doesn’t mean you still can’t crack open a good book and explore new people, places, and ideas. I mean, when you get down to it, shouldn’t every month be a National Book Month?
UrbanFaith contributor Linda Leigh Hargrove certainly thinks so. That’s why she compiled this excellent list with suggestions for both fiction and nonfiction books dealing with African American history. Check it out, and then get yourself to the library, your local bookstore, or an online book site and get busy reading.
And by the way, if you have any titles that are special to you that you’d like to add to the reading list, please leave your suggestions below.
Ready, Set, Read!
“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
– Ray Bradbury
Reading is so important on so many levels. We need to encourage people, young and old, to fall in love with reading again.
