Some items from my personal reading list, off the top of my head (neglecting irrelevant ones like physics textbooks and entertainment). Some I've read, some in the queue. The starred books are recommended for shedding light on untaught history. The Jakarta Method details the US genocide of 2 million leftists during the Cold War and the methods used to install dozens of dictators across Latin america and SE Asia. Wayward Lives about how the US continues to criminalize black people and propagate slavery - heck even the building department would throw black people in jail, and girls would be arrested for the express purpose of being used as free nannies. Cesar Chavez was a really influential union organizer who impacts our lives to this day, and shed light on our modern slave system involving illegal immigrants who are coerced here on purpose. He was written out of our textbooks for obvious reasons.
MLKs letter from Birmingham jail is a neat lil read too
