Every white person should, at the very least, read the first chapter of The Cross and the Lynching Tree - it is an absolute gut-punch in all the right ways - incredibly enlightening! It broke me the first time I read it and I needed to be broken in that way.
I would also add, Rethinking Incarceration, by Dominique Gilliard, to go along with Just Mercy. Those books together will make you think hard about our “justice system.”

I agree. Particularly, Cone's. It is a classic, and I have felt like every Pastor in America should read it.
I really like Let Justice Roll Down by John Perkins
Yep. Love it! Perkins is a legend.
