5. Yara Shahidi: When They Call You a Terrorist
Actress, model, and activist Yara Shahidi recommends When They Call You A Terrorist, written by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele, co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement.
"Literature, from my obsession with James Blake and Toni Morrison, to my introduction to Steve Biko's work, has always been about self education and breaking the barriers of inherent isolationism by delving into the stories of others and realizing they are our own," wrote the Grown-ish star in a caption. "The one thing that traveled with me to LA/Paris/NY is [Patrisse Khan-Cullors'] memoir (which by the way, is a NY times BEST SELLER). Her personal story and beautiful telling of her growing up and into the Black Lives Matter movement is why we must #TellBlackStories."
