Black boys like me : confrontations with race, identity, and belonging / by Morris, Matthew R.,author.;
"Startingly honest, bracing personal essays, from educator and writer Matthew Morris, that explore the intersection of race, Black masculinity, hip-hop culture, and education. This is an examination of the parts that construct my Black character; from how public schooling shapes our ideas about ourselves to how hip-hop and sports are simultaneously the conduit for both Black abundance and Black boundaries. This book is a meditation on the influences that have shaped Black boys like me. What does it mean to be a young Black man with an immigrant father and a white mother living on Indigenous land? In Black Boys Like Me, Matthew Morris grapples with this question, and others related to identity and belonging. He explores the tension between his consumption of Black culture as a child, his teenage performances of the ideas, identities, and values of the culture that often betrayed his identity, and the ways society and the people guiding him--his parents, coaches, and teachers--received those performances. What emerges is a painful journey toward transcending performance altogether, toward true knowledge of the self."--

They call me George : the untold story of black train porters and the birth of modern Canada / by Foster, Cecil,1954-author.;
"A historical work of non-fiction that chronicles the little-known stories of black railway porters-the so-called "Pullmen" of the Canadian rail lines. The actions and spirit of these men helped define Canada as a nation in surprising ways, effecting race relations, human rights, North American multiculturalism, community building, the shape and structure of unions, and the nature of travel and business across the US and Canada. Drawing on the stories and legends of several of these influential early black Canadians, this book narrates the history of a very visible, but rarely considered, aspect of black life in railway-age Canada. These porters, who fought against the idea of Canada as White Man's Country, open only to immigrants from Europe, fought for and won a Canada that would provide opportunities for all its citizens."--
