Listless Monday, Civil Rights Edition

I'm starting a new feature for my blog. I don't really do many features - I like to stick with reviews, but I started thinking about how much I love themed lists and then decided I wanted to start sharing some! Today is the launch of my new Listless Monday. Since it happens to be Martin Luther King Day, I've put together some titles that deal with slavery and civil rights. I'm not setting any limitations - the books can be non-fiction or fiction, any age group.  Since I am admitting this list is nowhere near exhaustive, feel free to suggest books I don't have on here and I'll add them.  If you want to create a list of your own on any topic, I'd love to see it - just leave me a link!  (addendum: I must have been unconsciously inspired by both Amanda at A Bookshelf Monstrosity's Monday feature Books by Theme and Court at Once Upon a Bookshelf's Listed feature - they've been doing it for quite a while now.  Be sure to check out their lists!)
