Overview

Read the vast canon of Black Literature  by Black Authors from A to Z.   No requirement to go in alphabetical order from A to Z, but to read all year and document the journey as you go.  

The letter can be the book title or the authors first or last name (I.e., The Street by Ann Petry could be, "A", "P" or "S").  Read intentionally while enjoying the experience of Black Literature.
