Africa especially those in America who don’t know about African-American history should learn about the accomplishments and social evolution of Africa-American.…

my teachers told me to read books. They told me that reading books is good for your and, it would make you smarter. When I was younger, I really didn’t understand how reading fiction books made me smarter. I always thought non-fiction were the books to increase your knowledge because they were real events.

The two book Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehsi Coates and How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America by Kiese Laymon present a similar issues of racial discrimination faced by the black community on a daily bases.

of Huckleberry Finn Literature throughout all of history has conveyed thoughts, enlightened minds, and has satirized issues of its time. Literature educates those of all ages and knows no bounds. It allows us of the present a look at the past and to those of the past it gives hope of the future.
