Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

This last day of Black History Month, we wanted to make sure we finished strong with some classics and other tomes that highlight the achievements, struggles and triumphs of blacks.

From Booker T. Washington’s journey from slavery to national leader, to Ralph Ellison’s exploration of black consciousness in Invisible Man, to our No. 1 book, Living and Dying in Brick City, an insider’s look at the emergency room system and the unequal treatment that black people receive, we’ve covered the spectrum of the African-American experience.
