If you have only a few minutes each day, read whatever @mekkaokereke has posted for the day. But if you have more time, much more time, perhaps you'll enjoy some:

Black History Audiobooks
youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnk

The 21 videos in this playlist include some very short speeches by Lincoln and Wilberforce, but also some multi-hour audiobooks.

After reading Mekka all this month, I find myself wondering about the selection of authors and subjects. A "Black History Audiobooks" playlist that includes multiple speeches by Abraham Lincoln and one by William Wilberforce? Whether you accept the description of Lincoln as a white supremacist or not, it's a little weird to have three out of 21 videos be speeches by white people, right? And then the story of young (white) Abraham Lincoln? I could go on, but there are some good books on the list, so I'll stop. It's not my place.

Enjoy writings from Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass, and books about the Underground Railroad, the American Revolution, and exploration of the North Pole.
