As we celebrate Juneteenth, we’ve gathered together stories of Black American resilience and achievement, from the unsung heroism of Black nurses who helped cure tuberculosis in the late 1920s to the story of Madam C.J. Walker, whose life as a legendary African American entrepreneur and philanthropist formed the basis of the Netflix series starring Octavia Spencer. Which books are you adding to your WTR shelves?
