If you are struggling to understand what is happening in America right now, or if you know of someone who could benefit from educating themselves on the current divide in our country, I implore you: read one or all of the books from the list that I have compiled. All highly-rated bestsellers on Amazon, these books deal with important topics concerning race and division in our society. The sooner we take steps towards furthering our education and awareness of issues in America, the sooner that the prospect of change can become a reality.
