BLM Reading list for teens and YA

Suggested Reading

This curated list of suggested reading for Young Adults and teens comes from a list put together by Chelsea Couillard-Smith, a librarian for Hennepin County (MN) Library.  The list can be found also at Black Lives Matter Reads for Teens(The links below where available take you to Amazon.  Purchases made through these links do generate income at no expense to you, for the temple.  It is small, and every small bit helps.  I thought you should know this.)
