The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person

Recommended by: Megan Adair Casteel

Recommendation:

  • Frederick Joseph’s memoir/guide talks directly to the reader, and shares real experiences from his past as well as current perspectives from artists and activists.
  • The clear language and engaging tone make this book accessible to teens and young adults, who may see some of themselves in Mr. Joseph’s descriptions of his own adolescence.
  • A beautiful blend of empathy-inspiring examples and concrete tools for personal – and societal – growth and change.
