Do Your Own Research

Due to the fact that we highly encourage self education, independent studies and reading as one of the easiest ways to grow intellectually, we’re including this list of pertinent and powerful books for all interested in continuing their own independent studies, as well as those just looking for a few good books to read. As we continue to build our independent online University of Activism and Accountability this list will continue to grow.
