Supporting Black Authors through exploring their books and hearing their stories feels like something meaningful to do for Black History Month. I plan to read a combination of nonfiction, fiction, and short works. Each Friday in February I plan to post here about what I have read. I hope some of these stories pique your interest and inspire you to support black creators this month.
10. Illustrated Black History: Honoring the Iconic and the Unseen by George McCalman (Nonfiction)
This is a great over view of black history and the people who make up that history. It also is really cool how the author created art for each of the people who were spotlighted. This art really makes this a cool book that I could see having as an reference book (if I had not gotten it out of the library and therefore have to return it LOL) Over all both a very accessible book and a very gorgeous book.
11. Champions, vol. 1: Outlawed by Eve L. Ewing (Short Work Graphic Novel)
This was an interesting volume about the challenges when society responds to a tragedy with draconian laws and an exploration of what it means to have teenagers on superhero duty.
12 Long Way Down: The Graphic Novel by Jason Reynolds (Short Work Graphic Novel)
A story about the interconnected reverberations of gun violence
