This is a superb selection of recommended bios. I’ve read 7 out of 10 and plan to digest the final 3 by end of March. I wish Janes Baldwin was alive, that brother was deep. Traveled to Cuba a few years ago / secretly wanted to run into Assata. In my opinion these books will wake you up if you’re not woke.
