BECOMING LUNSFORD LANE by Craig Friend, who's spent nearly a decade on this masterpiece. Born & enslaved in NC, he manumitted himself & his family, shared podiums with the major abolitionists of the day, & was a 19th-century Zelig who finally has his own biography.

THE MEMOIRS OF ROBERT AND MABEL WILLIAMS, ed. by Akinyele Umoja, Gloria House, & the late, great, John Bracey. Like Lunsford Lane, these fearless freedom fighters were from NC but travelled the world to amplify a Black liberation that remains utterly relevant today.

THE BREACH, by Alan McPherson. When I signed this book, I espoused its relevance b/c I naively believed the rule of law would bring the president-elect to trial, as it did with Oliver North during the Iran-Contra scandal. It's absolutely chilling to read today. https://uncpress.org/book/9781469686349/the-breach/

SEARCHING FOR MEMORY, by Jake Blanc. The author's many hours of interviews with Brazilian journalist Aluízio Ferreira Palmar shows us that it's not only possible to survive a dictatorship, but it can make us fight harder for justice. May we all be inspired by him. https://uncpress.org/book/9781469681030/searching-for-memory/
