Demystifying Black History: Books that Challenge False Narratives

In this chapter, they discuss the importance of bringing certain texts that demystify aspects of black history and challenge false narratives. They highlight the value of these texts as truth-telling mechanisms, particularly in the context of crack cocaine and its era. They also mention a book called Sister Outsider by Audrey Lorde, which they find compelling in the current political and social moment. They discuss the need for deeper and more provocative thought, as well as the importance of asking meaningful questions about the issues we face.
