The Blackest Book Club Book

Reconstruction, Campaign Zero, and Pod Save the People have come together again to create 'The Blackest Book Club' reading list as a meaningful celebration of Black History Month.

This year's theme, Imagine a Brighter Future, calls us to harness the power of literature as a revolutionary act - to dream boldly, resist injustice, and craft a new world rooted in equity, hope, and joy.

In a time of immense political and societal challenges, we turn to books as tools for liberation and imagination. Through reading, we find not only answers but also the courage and creativity to design better lives for ourselves, our communities, and future generations.

Featuring a curated collection of titles from multiple genres that have inspired us to imagine new possibilities and reimagine what a just and joyful future could look like.

Reconstruction, Pod Save the People and Campaign Zero came together to answer these questions and we think they are a great way for you to talk with your kids, families, and friends.

Reading is an act of justice. What book offers the most actionable solutions to a societal issue close to your heart?
Which book do you believe every Black child should read to empower them and equip young people to navigate and shape a brighter future?
What is one book you return to when you need a break from the outside world?
What's a recent book that taught you something surprising or profound about Black history or culture?
Which book offered the best insights into creating wealth and long-term economic sustainability for Black commnitites?
Is there a song or album that evokes a literary connection, inspiring visions of a new future for Black people?
