The Cartoon Art Museum welcomes authors Mark Long and Jim Demonakos and artist Nate Powell as they discuss The Silence of Our Friends, their graphic novel chronicling the American Civil Rights Movement, published in January 2012 by First Second Books.
This semi-autobiographical tale is set in 1967 Texas, against the backdrop of the fight for civil rights. A white family from a notoriously racist neighborhood in the suburbs and a black family from its poorest ward cross Houston’s color line, overcoming humiliation, degradation, and violence to win the freedom of five black college students unjustly charged with the murder of a policeman.
