Last week's protests in support of black lives and against police violence have resulted in the broadest support for the Black Lives Matter movement the United States has yet seen—and with it, sales of books on racism, white supremacy, and what it's like to be black in America skyrocketed on the Apple Books store's bestseller list. Six of the top 20 books on the list fall into this category, including the top seller, White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo, and the #2 seller, How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. Four of the top five books on the list are related to racism, and five of those six titles on the list are backlist books.
