"Three Addresses on the Relations Subsisting Between the White and Colored People of the US" by Frederick Douglass
This book was one of the seminal and foundational works to modern-day critical race theory. Written just a few decades after the American Civil War, this book recounts the divide between people of different races during one of the tensest times in the country's history, directly from the perspectives of those living it.
