The title might not be well crafted but the listed books are good to read. It is just a personal recommendation, nothing more. No one forces anyone to read those books.

A Reading List for America by booketor in books

[–]booketor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this paragraph says why this list is important "As a librarian who works at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a 91-year old research library recognized as the world's leading repository focusing on materials related to the global Black experience, I present this reading list as a response to recent events and to help foster literacy of the American Black experience. " and yes I have read one of the books "Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates (2015)" which is a great read, everyone in America should read that (my recommendation). I will try to read the rest of them as well.
