The Marathon Book Club—Founded In Memory Of Nipsey Hussle, Is Inspiring Black Men Across The Nation

Now there are four different chapters across the country. 74 black men, and two latinos meet up monthly in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Oakland and New York.

This all started after one fan, Twitter user @theSIMSITY, began compiling a list over several years, of all of the books that she heard Hussle mentioned in interviews, songs and his motivational talks. The list includes everything from cult classics, to business, self-help and little known black authors. Take a peep at the original meme and her updated list below:
