Description
The graphic narrative history of the 2001 Cincinnati riots, told for the primary time from the viewpoint of the participants.
When Timothy Thomas, a 19-year-old black man, was once fatally shot by police, town broke out into nonviolent civil disobedience that was once met with further police violence. This was once the primary major uprising of the 21st Century, matched handiest by the LA riots a decade before and the protests in Ferguson over a decade later. Creator and illustrator Dan Méndez Moore was once 17 on the time when he participated within the six days of protests that shook town between Thomas’s death and his funeral. Méndez Moore’s comics-journalism account sensitively captures a fiery moment in U.S. history through interviews with protestors, community leaders, bystanders, and a frustrated looter. He portrays the strain of a city boiling over, political leaders taking advantage, and an inner-city community coming together. Six Days in Cincinnati is a nonfiction graphic novel that tells an all-American story of systemic racism and the ability of popular movements, more relevant in our post-Ferguson era than ever before.
