Still I Riseis a critically acclaimed work with an impressive scope: the entire history of Black America, told in an accessible graphic-novel form. Updated from its original versionwhich ended with the Million Man Marchit now extends from the early days of colonial slavery right through to Barack Obama's groundbreaking presidential campaign.
