As Black History Month concludes, let's commit to continuous learning and action.

While February may be over, the achievements, triumphs, and ongoing fight for justice within the Black community deserve recognition and exploration year-round.

Houston reVision has curated a reading list featuring diverse Black authors and stories that explore various aspects of the Black experience and the ongoing struggle for a just and equitable society, including the justice system. Dive deeper and gain a broader understanding through these thought-provoking works.

Reading Suggestions:

Begin Again by Eddie Glaude, Jr. He's a Princeton professor, and the book is about James Baldwin. Pair that recommendation with No Name in the Street by James Baldwin. Together, these two books are life-changing!

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due & Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead - These two are different fictional takes on the horrors of the juvenile justice system on young black boys in a different era.
