This book starts off incredibly slow. However, it does a great job illustrating how one person, who tried to live life true to his convictions, made a difference.

This is a great graphic novel. Neat and clean art style along with an important story.

Through a collaborative effort constructed around a semi-autobiography of a part of the childhood of one of the authors, the TSU riot of 1967, and a focus on two "men of conscience" coming together from different sides of a stark color line, Long, Demonakos, and Powell have crafted a wonderful work that takes readers straight back in time to 1960's Houston, where through the microcosm of the story they will receive a strong and vivid taste of the struggle, hardship, setbacks, tensions, and hard-won victories that made up the Civil Rights Movement.
