New voices present relevant, topical visions of social change and
personal histories, some true-to-life while others are
semi-fictionalized accounts of real experiences. Jules, a Black
teenager, is given a pair of old binoculars as he heads out for a
morning of birdwatching in Central Park. He soon learns the
binoculars show him a lot more than birds, and maybe they keep him
safe, too. Jesse Holland s Mississippi farm has been in his family
since their first ancestor was freed from slavery, tended by his
grandfather and his father before him. But as Jesse grows into a
man, he s unsure if a patch of land in the Piney Woods and a life
of tilling soil is his true destiny. But destiny can mean so much
more than dirt and a tractor. Lanice s passion for cooking and
desire for a career in the culinary arts are challenged by the
source of her inspiration, her father, who is concerned about his
only daughter working in a kitchen, like so many Black Americans
before her. These stories and more all have one thing in common:
innovative styles and compelling stories that examine how our
culture builds understanding, tracing society s arc toward justice
as we evolve in pursuit of a more just and compassionate world.
This graphic novel collects Represent! #1-14.
