• Summary:"In Still I Rise, Roland Laird and Elihu Bey take the form to another level, using cartoons to tell the rich history of the achievements, struggles, hopes, suffering, and triumphs of people of African descent in America. Beginning with the arrival of the first African indentured servants in the colonies, and culminating in the Million Man March, Still I Rise brings to light many surprising and little-known facts of American history, making the book a joy to both those who thought they knew it all already and those learning history for the first time."--BOOK JACKET. "As National Book Award winner Charles Johnson points out in his introduction, the history of African American cartooning is itself a vibrant one, and almost unknown. Still I Rise is a great contribution. An inspiring tribute to all the Americans of African descent who have built, defended, challenged, and re-created these United States, it not only tells history, it makes history."--BOOK JACKET.
