With a little over a month to go until Michael Bennett and Dave Zirin’s book, Things That Make White People Uncomfortable, is released, we thought that it would be good to give you some suggestions to read in the mean time! After a visit with the Seattle Public Library, Michael picked out 15 books that he recommends. Here’s the list!
