Change is Gonna Come
This is an excellent book, especially for anyone who works in education. As a white teacher who works in a predominantly white school with mostly white colleagues, I found this book to be a great learning resource and a counter to the the harmful and deficit-based narratives surrounding black students that continue to be perpetuated. It is a series of academic essays and reads a little dry sometimes, but it's valuable information.
