Have suggestions for additional titles to add to this list? We must not stand by in silence as lives continue to be unnecessarily taken. It is our hope that this list will grow and serve as an important resource going forward for educators, parents, and readers of all ages. In solidarity, the GNCRT is collaborating with our colleagues at the BCALA on this reading list that draws attention to the Black experiences of the past and present to demand a new future for our Black friends and neighbors. The United States has a long history of violence against the Black community and white supremacy is laid into the foundation of our societal contract. The Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table of the American Library Association affirms the ALA Executive Board's statement and stands in support of not only the Black Caucus of the American Library Association, but also the Black community at large. From the first appearance of Captain America in March 1941 punching the face of Hitler, to recent titles like I am Alfonso Jones and MARCH - titles tackling police brutality, #BlackLivesMatter, and the life story of Congressman John Lewis - comic books have been and continue to be vitally important avenues to visually tell our stories, to share our histories, and to show experiences and multiple perspectives while engaging both sides of our brain. They are both a reflection and a barometer of our times.
