White all around
by Wilfrid Lupano
I love seeing small stories that fit into History we don't know much about.
This part of history was so impactful for a large community and allowed so much change to be born from it.
It was great to learn about, but I also got attached to this group of young girls wanting to learn and simply live.
I hope stories like this will continue to be brought to page and screen and minds.
I do however think it important to note that this graphic novel was written and illustrated by two white Frenchmen.
As much as I appreciate anyone writing on topics that need more visibility, I do also believe it's important to make sure that white people, who already own most of the industry, do let black artists express themselves and tell their own history (and more), without being impacted by the casual everyday racism that does affect publishing. Black authors should be prioritised when reading about Black history, at least.
