The rationale for having a 'book of knowledge' in schools and homes covers a wide area of discussion. Encyclopedias and other scientific reference books are either unobtainable, too costly, too brief in explanation, full of jargon or voluminous and cumbersome. So for teachers, students and laypersons these sources are of little use.

Ron Spears, Kaba Hiawatha Kamene, Phillippe (Rev SHOCK) Matthews, "Black Matter Lives: Manifesting Change Using the Laws of Physics, Our Minds and the Power of the Spoken Word"
English | 2022 | ASIN: B09T2ZCDCR, B09S2DHWTB | EPUB | pages: 232 | 2.2 mb
Black Matter Lives will take you on a journey to consciousness, spiritual growth and development beginning with some core laws of physics and ending with an agenda for empowering the community. The mission of the Black Lives Matter movement is to eradicate white supremacy in response to the wave of brutal police killings and improving the quality of life for Black people. Instead of convincing the world that Black lives matter to bring about change, this book offers a counter movement to bring about change and transformation by switching the words around to Black Matter Lives. The black matter maximizes our connection to the spirit force of the cosmic universe to transform the quality of life. Once this transformation occurs, we have the capacity to change the circumstances of our existence and quality of life for our people. Just as the popular Christian anthem "He Lives" describes a holy experience given by God, Black Matter "Lives" describes the consciousness behind the faith that exists within people blessed by birth with melanin (Black Matter).
J. E. Sumerau, "Black Lives and Bathrooms: Racial and Gendered Reactions to Minority Rights Movements "
English | ISBN: 1793609802 | 2020 | 124 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Black Lives and Bathrooms: Racial and Gendered Reactions to Minority Rights Movements examines how people respond to minority movements in ways that maintain existing patterns of racial and gender inequality. By studying the Black Lives Matter and Transgender Bathroom Access movement efforts, J.E. Sumerau and Eric Anthony Grollman analyze how cisgender white people define minority movements in relation to their existing notions of United States social norms; react to minority movements utilizing racial, classed, gendered, and sexual stereotypes that reinforce racism, sexism, and cissexism in society; and propose ways that racial and gender minorities could gain conditional acceptance by behaving in ways cisgender white people find more comfortable and normal. Throughout this work, Sumerau and Grollman note how assumptions about whiteness and cisnormativity are spread as cisgender white people respond to racial and gender movements seeking social change.
