Readings for Black History Month

Just found this article in the Herald & Review (Central Illinois):  Readings for Black History Month.  Journalist Allen Pierleoni suggests we celebrate Black History Month with a good book.  The Book Keeper thinks that is a fantastic idea.  In addition to his suggestions, I would recommend the following fiction books:  The Help by Kathryn Stockett, The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, and Beloved also by Toni Morrison. 


"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -Martin Luther King, Jr.


I hope your Black History Month reading list helps bring light to your life.  Happy Reading.

  1. Girl, I have got to crack a book open one of these days! It's been TOO long! Just too much going on around my house & I'm ready to crash at bedtime & not read. I will get it together after Redd's Party! P.S. Invite should be coming- too bad they didn't turn out as cute as I thought they would- that's what you get when you make color copies, LOL :)
