Eight books for Black History Month

The Zoomer Book Club's Nathalie Atkinson tagged eight worthy books for Black History Month, including:
DREAM IN THE RHYTHM by Grace Wales Bonner

To accompany her ongoing exhibition in the Artist’s Choice series at New York’s Museum of Metropolitan Art, the acclaimed London-based designer and artistic director of the fashion brand Wales Bonner offers “an archive of soulful expression” through 80 artworks selected from the MoMA Collection and the very personal connections she makes between them. Texts and works by Lee Friedlander, Steve McQueen, Langston Hughes and Greg Tates, among others, are juxtaposed to reveal new meaning.
