Black History Month lasts through the end of February, but you’ll need to act by Friday if you want to grab free downloads of three important audio books by Black authors. Offered as a gift from Cool Mom Tech-recommended audiobook company Libro.fm and Tantor Audio, these powerful and informative audio books for older teens, college students, and adults will teach you more about the Black experience in the United States, something we feel is so very important especially during this time of unprecedented book bans and increased censorship.
