This graphic novel depicts nine under-told stories from Black history—those of Henry “Box” Brown, Harry “Bucky” Lew, Richard Potter, Theophilus Thomson, the residents of Malaga Island, the students and teachers of the Noyes Academy, Marshall “Major” Taylor, Spottswood Rice, and Bass Reeves—in a way that honors the legacies of those stories’ subjects and will connect with a modern-day audience of all ages.
