Although we are beyond the BLM events of 2020, there is still the goal of many people to read Black Literature. This particular challenge has been retired and Ina's is not recommending any bonus reads. However, that does not mean I cannot continue to do this challenge on my own. I will find a book that fits all or most of the prompts for this year.
Stay tuned...
2020
This is a new challenge created by Seji of @theartisangeek for Black History month (BHM) in February 2020. It is a great challenge to encourage readers of black lit or people just interested to participate. I think this is a great way to get more people of color (primarily of African descent) to read books by black authors world wide.
