Been reading Up From Slavery the last week or so. Incredible book man, I see a lot of myself in Booker T. Washington.
A lot of these books are free on Amazon Kindle too.
The Book of all books...should be required reading for everyone; that at Black Jacobins

Just finised the sould of black folks by Dubois. Excellent read. Now I'm currently reading go tell it on a mountain by James Baldwin. Baldwin is such a amazing writer!
any books for young black guys (19-22) such as myself to read? i want to read something that is useful and simple to read, then read something that is more advance/helpful in the process. any recommendations?
is this book for advance people that helps retain their knowledge on reading or for intermediates?
Going through this one right now as well, some pretty useful techniques I've found here that have improved my reading skills in just a short amount of time and made it more fun in the process. Different tests in each section that test your reading pace (words per min) and comprehension skills, I didnt realize how slow of a reader I was before picking up this book.

It's for any level reader but will help with retention as well. The first chapter tests your reading speed and comprehension then the remaining chapters all go over various reading techniques and habits that slow you down, with additional tests so you can gauge your progress as you go on.
