Buy the Man-Not by Tommy Curry and read it, immediately. Take your time tho. It's dense, and heavy.

Beyond that:

From Here To Equality by Sandy Darity
The Color Of Law by Richard Rothstein
The Price for Their Pound of Flesh: The Value of the Enslaved, from Womb to Grave, in the Building of a Nation by Daina Berry

^^^reading these in conjunction with the Color Of Money will completely alter your perception of race and economics in America^^^^

Propaganda by Edward Bernays
Quick read, and HUGELY influential in modern life. Dude was a despicable human being, and his rotten ideas are everywhere


The Condemnation of Little B by Elaine Brown
Search & Destroy By Jim Miller
The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
^^^The role that black men play in this culture as boogie men cannot be overstated. These books help unpack why and how this is done.
