Top Ten Tuesday Turns 10: Five Books To Read for Black Lives Matter and Five for Pride Month

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme and blog hop hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. 

This month's theme is to pick a previous Top Ten Tuesday but I think instead I'd like to list some books to read for Black Lives Matter and Pride Month instead. Please note I am a heterosexual, cis, white woman so I have chosen books for someone like me who needs to learn more as a person who comes from the perspective of privilege.
