24 Festive Tasks: Kwanzaa

Square Twenty-two

 

Book: Read a book written by an author of African, African American or Caribbean descent or a book set in Africa or the Caribbean, or whose cover is primarily red, green or black, or with crops of the earth or a native African animal on the cover (lion, giraffe, cheetah, African elephant, etc.).

Born a Crime  By  cover art
 
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (read by the author)

Task 1: Make a corn dish.

This year, I served two varieties of stuffing for Thanksgiving. One of them was a cornbread stuffing.

Task 2: Create a stack of books in the Kwanzaa color scheme using red, black and green and post your creation and post a photo (or post a photo of a shelfie where black, red and green predominate).
 
 
 Since most of my reading is digital, I thought that any stacking should also be digital.
