Books (Non-fiction)

• Body and Soul: The Black Panther Party and the Fight against Medical Discrimination __ by Alondra Nelson (free book)
• Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (currently reading)

Notes: Kahneman’s book is not officially on any list, but I’ve put it here because I started reading it before the protests began in an attempt to understand how we as humans think - and it’s become crucial now more than ever to understand this. The book covers unconscious bias, jumping to conclusions, forming judgements, and other behind-the-scenes functions our brains perform.
