The Black Agenda: Bold Solutions for a Broken System by Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman

5.0

Everyone needs to read this book.


This book is amazing. It is a collection of essays from black scholarly researchers, activists, and advocates for change who have dedicated years looking into the socioeconomic disparity between black folk in America and their racial kinfolk. From climate change to healthcare to the criminal justice system to public policy and many more, this book covers the many avenues in which blacks are disenfranchised, and proposes bold and tactful solutions to mitigate these challenges. Even though this book is at a collegiate reading level, it is a must read for everyone, especially for black youth in secondary and post-secondary institutions pursuing careers pivotal to the revolutionary change proposed in this book. I recommend for those who want a book with a slightly easier reading level, to read "How to Be an AntiRacist" by Ibram X Kendi.


A big kudos to the author for writing and putting this book together, and a big kudos to everyone who was involved in its publication! I have a good feeling this will live in libraries and future college curriculum.
