The Good Immigrant
Always supported the support of black people. I often read books about their rights, their life in different countries. Since I am studying in college, I try to use the site https://eduzaurus.com/free-essay-samples/black-lives-matter/, which helps to write various papers, in order to spend more time reading books about black people. With the help of this site, I recently found free samples of an essay on the topic of black lives matter. Many interesting discussions on this topic. Many different opinions about the life of black people and their lives I read in different books.

Thanks for posting this - many great books listed above and in there links. I have previously shared a list of race + feminism authors a couple months ago in response to another poster seeing book suggestions in this group - I can’t recall which thread it is...but this is the gist :).
I am currently reading:
Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption and Mother Country: Real Stories of the Windrush Children and So You Want to Talk About Race
I just finished: Dear Martin and Hello Mum which are heartbreaking, insightful and so powerful!
Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot (which is so insightful - still processing my thoughts).
A few feminism + race relations books I have read and highly recommend (in no order of preference):
When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir
The Bluest Eye
Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging
Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire
Thick: And Other Essays
