Celebrating powerful voices: Represent! collects the revolutionary
digital-first series!
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.
