Finished 'The Warmth of Other Suns' - Isabel Wilkerson's masterwork on the Great Migration. She turns history into living, breathing stories. This should be required reading. 5/5 ⭐

Starting 'The New Jim Crow' by Michelle Alexander today. Already eye-opening in the first chapter about mass incarceration as a racial control system.

""The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression." - W.E.B. Du Bois This quote hits different when you're studying the history of resistance movements."

""If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it." - Zora Neale Hurston Reading 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' and this quote stopped me in my tracks."

Halfway through 'Between the World and Me' by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The way he writes letters to his son about navigating America as a Black person is both heartbreaking and essential reading.

Just discovered the documentary 'When They See Us' on the platform. Essential viewing about the Central Park Five case. The injustice is still hard to process.

Just finished watching 'Eyes on the Prize' - an essential documentary series on the Civil Rights Movement. The archival footage and firsthand accounts are incredibly moving. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to understand this pivotal era. 5/5 ⭐

Just started 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X' - a powerful journey through one of history's most influential voices. What are you reading this week?

""Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today." - Malcolm X What's a quote that inspires your learning journey?"
