#OwnVoices is a term coined by the writer Corinne Duyvis, and refers to an author from a marginalized or under-represented group writing about their own experiences/from their own perspective, rather than someone from an outside perspective writing as a character from an underrepresented group.
Below is a selection of #OwnVoices books from our SHS Learning Commons to read during Black History Month--and the rest of the year too! If you are having trouble finding a book or logging into eBooks, we are here to help.
