Romper – Abi Berwager Schreier 
The Black History Month 2020 theme is “African Americans and the Vote” — certainly a timely topic right now. This list of children’s books comprises authors who were crucial to the Civil Rights Movement, books that tell true stories about trailblazing black women and men, and books by authors telling stories about their childhoods growing up in the ’60s and ’70s as a black person. Even President Barack Obama has a book on this list. These fantastically written, and beautifully illustrated books are sure to educate and inspire kids, whether that inspiration comes in the form of wanting to go out and volunteer and stand up for civil rights, or wanting to become a trailblazer themselves one day.
