Book 1: Confront the dark realities of racial injustice with “Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases by Ida B. Wells-Barnett.” Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a pioneering journalist and civil rights activist, investigates and exposes the brutality of lynching in the American South. Through meticulous research and fearless advocacy, Wells-Barnett sheds light on the atrocities committed against Black individuals, challenging the prevailing narratives of her time. Book 2: Embark on a whimsical and humorous ghostly tale with “The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde.” Oscar Wilde's novella follows the misadventures of Sir Simon, a ghost haunting Canterville Chase, and the American family that moves in, unimpressed by his supernatural antics. Filled with Wilde's trademark wit and satire, this ghost story transcends the genre, offering a delightful blend of humor and charm. Book 3: Confront the ghosts of the past in “Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen.” Henrik Ibsen, a master of psychological drama, presents a play that explores the consequences of hidden secrets and societal expectations. As the characters grapple with their haunting past, Ibsen's work delves into the complexities of morality and the impact of societal norms on individuals.
