Nobody by Marc Lamont Hill        

Nobody is a book that reminds us that all of us are somebody — that, until we love and respect black bodies, we cannot truly and honestly move forward. If you wish all people understood systemic racism, that it comes from all of us, and that all our perceptions and biases contribute to an existence where all bodies are not honored equally, then Nobody is the book for you. From Ferguson to Flint, Hill chronicles how oppression has seeped into the core of our country, building a foundation so unbalanced that equitable footing is nearly impossible.  — D
