One of the greatest things about Labor Day Weekend other than having time off from work — enjoy the three-day weekend, y’all! — is having the free time to do, well, whatever you like!
If you’re one of the millions that daily put in that work from 9-to-5, and on occasion even going overtime, it should be a gift to yourself to enjoy the next few days of some much-needed PTO, TLC, R&R and any other acronym that will have you at peace.
Might we suggest a few books by a selection of very talented Black authors to fill in some of that free time with?
From catching sun rays on the beach to basking in the last few days of humidity with the grill fired up in the backyard, a good book can always come in handy. Novels, memoirs and works of literature that can take you into another dimension, sometimes even literally, make for a mentally-relaxing way to enjoy a captivating story or brush up on information that proves to be vital from a cultural perspective.
We wanted to take this special weekend to encourage everyone to appreciate a luxury that wasn’t afforded to those who were too busy building our nation and fighting systematic racism to know what time off meant. Our ancestors died for our right to read, so why not utilize that privilege while also stimulating the mind?
