The Black Friend

by
Frederick Joseph

published in

2020
Cover art
March 1, 2021 Desi T says:
Frederick Joseph's The Black Friend is a frank and compelling discussion about race for White young people. It's a thought-provoking read.
Race-related anecdotes from the author's past are presented, and he weaves in his thoughts on why they were hurtful and how he might handle things differently now, in hopes of bringing more race awareness to Americans.

I am a teen librarian. I love reading in general, but my favorite genre is realistic fiction. I'm a gardening, cooking, knitting, fitness and nutrition enthusiast. I like armchair traveling and traveling by plane, bus, train or car equally.
