3 books about the African-American experience

We asked Nekima Levy-Pounds, one of our guests on Wednesday’s program about the March on Washington, to recommend three books about the African-American experience. Here are her picks:

“The Souls of Black Folk” by W.E.B. Du Bois

“Parting the Waters: America in the King Years 1954-63” by Taylor Branch

“The Warmth of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson
