Book Review: Warrior on the Mound by Sandra W. Headen
I just really can't say enough positive things about the book. It's so well-written, powerful, and absorbing. Headen somehow balances the onslaught of racist threats and assaults with so much joy and community and hope. An absolute must-buy for all libraries.
Book Review: The Reckoning by Wade Hudson
What I wouldn't give to see this used as a book club selection or a read aloud at school and then be a fly on the wall for discussions. There is so much to talk about in this deeply affecting look at racism, segregation, activism, and violence.

Q&A with Kelly McWilliams, author of Your Planation Prom Is Not Okay
When someone pretends that a plantation is about love and good old-fashioned family values, it keeps us on very different wavelengths.
Book Review: For Lamb by Lesa Cline-Ransome
Back matter, as well as a nod in the publisher's description, explains that often female victims of white supremacy and lynching are overlooked in history.
