Get the Facts: Indigenous & Black Non-Fiction
At the 2018 edition of The FOLD (Festival of Literary Diversity), Robyn Maynard said: "The facts don't actually speak for themselves."

A couple of additional titles to look for: -"Becoming an Ally: Breaking the Cycle of Oppression in People" by Anne Bishop -"Viola Desmond's Canada: a history of blacks and racial segregation in the promised land" by Graham Reynolds
