Summary

"Black Lives Always Mattered! represents a powerful project, documenting in a graphic novel genre African American Philadelphians who over the last century have both achieved individually while simultaneously fighting against the structures of racism. These stories demonstrate the long-distance race of Black empowerment across generations. Each story demonstrates the power of resilience in the face of challenge, and how building strong social networks and drawing on the cultural resources that have sustained peoples of African descent from the beginning of our presence in this country create success not only for our individual efforts but our collective well-being.
