The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person
by Frederick Joseph
I am so glad Frederick Joseph gifted the world with this book because, as he said, is IS a gift and not an obligation to have written it. Imbued with his own individual stories and experiences and enlightening, informing conversations with other POCs and allies (or, as Frederick would say, accomplices), this book is an accessible, honest look into how to be a better white person and actively work at being anti-racist. Yes, topics such as oppression, systematic racism, and white privilege and supremacy are sometimes difficult or uncomfortable to read or talk about—but as Joseph notes these conversations are necessary if we are to enact any sort of real change in this country. If you want to educate yourself and actively work towards doing better, BEING better, this book is a great place to start.
