Best books to give as gifts this holiday season
So you looked at the calendar the other day and — eeeek! The holidays are almost here and you’re not ready. Out of ideas for gifts?
How about a book? Is there an activist for justice on your gift list? Then they’ll be happy to open “Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City’s Soul” by Aran Shetterly (Amistad, $28.99), It’s a story of the Klan, white supremacy, racial conflict, and how it fits in with what’s going on in America today.
Pair it with “Sidney Poitier: The Great Speeches of an Icon Who Moved Us Forward” complied by Joanna Poitier, edited by John Malahy (Running Press, $29).
Bonus: This inspiring book is packed with photos. Fiction for the LGBTQ Reader If there’s someone on your gift list who’d enjoy a coming-of-age story, “Shae” by Mesha Maren (Algonquin Books, $28.00) is a good choice to give.
