NYPL’s physical locations, including the Schomburg, remain temporarily closed to the public to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, but New York residents can borrow most of the books on the list digitally and free of charge via the library’s SimplyE app, available on the App Store or Google Play. The Black Liberation Reading List is reproduced in full below and also available on NYPL’s website. “We hope it is a good starting point to explore these Black authors and to understand the history of, and ongoing struggle for, Black Liberation.”
The papers of Ann Petry, an author featured in the list, are housed in the Schomburg Center’s archives. Selected by the staff and curators of the Harlem institution, a research division of the New York Public Library, the books run the gamut from nonfiction and memoirs to novels and poetry collections by Black authors who plumb the depths of the ongoing struggle for Black liberation, from James Baldwin to Ta-Nehisi Coates. Marking the Schomburg’s 95th anniversary this year, the “ Black Liberation Reading List” highlights 95 titles to help readers cultivate a deeper understanding of decades of literature, theory, and art.
In response to historic, global demonstrations against anti-Black police violence and racism, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York has provided a list of books that should have always been required reading - and will remain so far beyond the present moment.
