After a star-studded Democratic National Convention full of impassioned cries to get out the vote, it’s hard not to feel like the country is on the verge of electing its first Black female President. But with less than 80 days before we cast our votes, we can’t afford to take our feet off the gas. A lot can happen in that short time, so we need to stay engaged and focused on the issues.

That’s why we’ve curated a list of books by Black authors that will remind us of the most important issues and the trailblazers who’ve paved the way for this historic moment.
As we prepare to head to the polls in November, these books should be on your reading list.
