Kind of a report on the state of Black culture at the beginning of 2020, and also kind of a museum in book form of the avant-garde of Black artists, activists, authors, philosophers, &c. Black Futures is full of essays, photos, art, interviews, text message exchanges, among other exhibits. Many of the ideas in here are not for white people; if you are white (like me) please do not attempt to use the black emojis, tag along with GirlTrek hikers, try to “hold space” for yourself, or wear the “I Will Protect Black People” button without first filling out and signing the legally binding “I Will Protect Black People” contract. What anyone can use this book for is to learn about Black artists & activists to learn more about elsewhere. For instance, I will definitely look out for books by Rahawa Haile, Renee Gladman, & Donovan X Ramsey, and I will look up the Appolition people, and try to find music by MHYSA & SHYBOI.
