@rosariumpub has my perennial favorite @JIJennings Blue Hand Mojo. I first bought this #comicbook in 2017, fell in love with the art and compelling story of how Black people need to do so much to just live #GraphicNovel #indiecomics

I wrote about shared trauma in issue 7 of Bitter Root. And you also need to get this #comicbook as well as volume 1.

I saw an #interview with Jennings at the rent party from @OneYoungsta last Saturday he mentioned that one of the things about #QuarentineLife was being thrust into #remotelearning without meeting some students. The engagement is what I miss most too. Maybe this syllabus can help

Another #graphicnovel additional to this growing Wishlist/syllabus to teach is @DavidWalker1201 biography of #FrederickDouglass @TenSpeedPress
The hope is to teach this and parable of the sower with Harriet Tubman demon slayer
