Dr. Ibram X. Kendis book rose to the top of The New York Times Bestseller List in 2020 in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests. The Times called it, “The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind.”

Kendi has authored many books, including two other #1 New York Times bestsellers, “Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You,” co-authored with Jason Reynolds and a Kirkus Prize Finalist; and “Antiracist Baby.” Netflix announced in January 2021 it is producing three new projects based on Kendi’s books.
