If you’re telling Black people or POC people to read classic novels and none of them include POC authors then what’s the point? Academia is so white washed I hate it. And with that being said, here’s a list of Black Classic novels and Authors:

Passing by Nella Larsen

If Beale Street Could talk by James Baldwin

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

The Color Purple by Alice Walker

Kindred by Octavia Butler

A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

This is just to name a few Black-authored books that should be considered classic novels. My favorite from the list has to be anything by James Baldwin truly. His art form is so beautiful and he’s one of the best intellectuals from the 20th century. I’ll add to this list as time goes on. There’s playwrights, poets, essayist, short story authors as well that all need to be acknowledged for their great work.

Black literature is Classic literature as well!!

Also wanted to add a link to a video that highlights many different unsung Black authors that some I haven’t even heard of either!
