   col. ill. ; 25 cm. -- Includes index. -- Summary (from
   publisher via OCLC): "Writer Ted Fox and artist James Otis
   Smith bring to life Harlem's legendary theater in this
   graphic novel adaptation of Fox's definitive, critically
   acclaimed history of the Apollo. Since its inception as an
   African-American theater in 1934, the Apollo, and the
   thousands of entertainers who performed there, have led the
   way in the presentation of swing, bebop, rhythm and blues,
   jazz, gospel, soul, funk and hip-hop-along with the latest
   in dance and comedy. The Apollo has nurtured and featured
   thousands of artists, many of whom have become legends. The
   beauty they have given the world-their art-transcends the
   hatred, ignorance, and intolerance that often made their
   lives difficult. Today, the Apollo enjoys an almost
   mythical status. With its breathtaking art, this graphic
   novel adaptation of Showtime at the Apollo brings to life
   the theater's legendary significance in music history,
   African American history, and to the culture of New York

   publisher): "This tenth anniversary edition of the
   acclaimed and fearless graphic novel features enhanced
   toned art, an afterword by Mat Johnson, character sketches,
   and other additional material. In the early 20th Century,
   when lynchings were commonplace throughout the American
   South, a few courageous reporters from the North risked
   their lives to expose these atrocities. They were
   African-American men who, due to their light skin color,
   could "pass" among the white folks. They called this
   dangerous assignment going "incognegro." Zane Pinchback, a
   reporter for the New York-based New Holland Herald, is sent
   to investigate the arrest of his own brother, charged with
   the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi. With a
   lynch mob already swarming, Zane must stay "incognegro"
   long enough to uncover the truth behind the murder in order
   to save his brother, and himself. Suspenseful, unsettling
   and relevant, [this book] is a tense graphic novel of
   shifting identities, forbidden passions, and secrets that
   run far deeper than skin color." -- Call no.: PN6737.P56 I5

   the riveting story of the highly decorated,
   barrier-breaking, historic black regiment--the Harlem
   Hellfighters. The Harlem Hellfighters is a fictionalized
   account of the 369th Infantry Regiment--the first African
   American regiment mustered to fight in World War I. From
   the enlistment lines in Harlem to the training camp at
   Spartanburg, South Carolina, to the trenches in France,
   bestselling author Max Brooks tells the thrilling story of
   the heroic journey that these soldiers undertook for a
   chance to fight for America. Despite extraordinary
   struggles and discrimination, the 369th became one of the
   most successful--and least celebrated--regiments of the
   war. The Harlem Hellfighters, as their enemies named them,
   spent longer than any other American unit in combat and
   displayed extraordinary valor on the battlefield. Based on
   true events and featuring artwork from acclaimed
   illustrator Caanan White, these pages deliver an

   Ridley, writer ; Georges Jeanty, penciller. -- Berkeley, CA
   : DC Comics, 2017-2018. -- col. ill. ; 26 cm. -- (Vertigo)
   -- Complete in 6 nos. -- Summary (from OCLC): In 1962 Jason
   Fisher was given astonishing powers by the United States
   government-powers he used to defend the nation as the New
   American. He and his teammates in the Civil Defense Corps
   were real-life superheroes. Except that it was all a fraud.
   A conspiracy. And now, 10 years after the CDC was torn
   apart by racism, infighting and murder, the Corps'
   surviving members find themselves pulled in very different
   directions. Missy Devereaux-a.k.a. Ole Miss-is
   transitioning from the First Lady of Mississippi into a
   candidate for governor and defender of a vanishing and
   hateful way of life. Amber Eaton-formerly known as Amber
   Waves-has become a domestic terrorist, using her powers to
   infiltrate and destroy the country's centers of power.
   Somewhere in the middle stands Jason Fisher, who has
   remained a crime-fighter even as evidence mounts that he is
   accomplishing nothing besides propping up a system that's
   rigged against him as a black man in America. In a nation
   being torn apart, what does it mean to fight for the
   American way? Writer John Ridley and artist Georges Jeanty
   revisit their parallel Earth for a look at its gritty
   1970s, a time frighteningly like our own. -- Superhero

   Gravity Breaker / Jonathan R. Miller. -- United States? :
   Jonathan R. Miller, 2016. -- 216 p. ; 23 cm -- "For Isaac
   Williams, nothing comes easy. From his dead-end job to his
   one-bedroom apartment, life so far has been a steady grind,
   one challenge after another. But that's about to change.
   During a routine encounter with a police officer in
   Oakland, Isaac makes a life-changing realization: He can
   use gravity to do almost anything. To build or destroy. To
   lift up or hold in place. To bend, straighten, or break
   apart. Isaac is suddenly in command of a power beyond his
   wildest imagination, the power to reshape the world around
   him, something that--as a biracial black man from
   hurricane-ravaged Mississippi--he has struggled to do his
   entire life. Filled with newfound hope, Isaac immerses
   himself in the experimentation process: testing his limits,
   broadening his skill set, and refining his control, all in
   secret. But Isaac, a single father of an eleven-year-old
   daughter, is forced to reveal the extent of his abilities
   when his daughter is attacked. This sets in motion a series
   of events that strips him of everything he's worked so hard
   for: his child, his job, and his home. Pursued relentlessly
   by the authorities, Isaac is forced to use his abilities in
   increasingly dramatic and dangerous ways to avoid capture
   and reunite with his daughter, ultimately learning that the
   power he wields--though enviable--comes at a deeply
   unenviable price." -- Superhero fiction, African American

   acclaimed history of the Apollo. Since its inception as an
   African-American theater in 1934, the Apollo, and the
   thousands of entertainers who performed there, have led the
   way in the presentation of swing, bebop, rhythm and blues,
   jazz, gospel, soul, funk and hip-hop-along with the latest
   in dance and comedy. The Apollo has nurtured and featured
   thousands of artists, many of whom have become legends. The
   beauty they have given the world-their art-transcends the
   hatred, ignorance, and intolerance that often made their
   lives difficult. Today, the Apollo enjoys an almost

   Fire!! : the Zora Neale Hurston Story / Peter Bagge. --
   Montr�al, Qu�bec : Drawn & Quarterly, 2017. -- 1 v. : col.
   ill. ; 23 cm. -- Summary (from OCLC): Peter Bagge has
   defied the expectations of the comics industry by changing
   gears from his famous slacker hero Buddy Bradley to
   documenting the life and times of historical 20th century
   trailblazers. If Bagge had not already had a New York Times
   bestseller with his biography of Margaret Sanger, his
   newest biography, Fire!!: The Zora Neale Hurston Story,
   would seem to be an unfathomable pairing of author and
   subject. Yet through Bagge's skilled cartooning, he turns
   what could be a rote biography into a bold and dazzling
   graphic novel, creating a story as brilliant as the life
   itself. Hurston challenged the norms of what was expected
   of an African American woman in early 20th century society.
   The fifth of eight kids from a Baptist family in Alabama,
   Hurston's writing prowess blossomed at Howard University,
   and then Barnard College, where she was the sole black
   student. -- Includes bibliographical references. --

   Summary (from OCLC): Josephine Baker (1906-1975) was
   nineteen years old when she found herself in Paris for the
   first time in 1925. Overnight, the young American dancer
   became the idol of the Roaring Twenties, captivating
   Picasso, Cocteau, Le Corbusier, and Simenon. In the
   liberating atmosphere of the 1930s, Baker rose to fame as
   the first black star on the world stage, from London to
   Vienna, Alexandria to Buenos Aires. After World War II, and
   her time in the French Resistance, Baker devoted herself to
   the struggle against racial segregation, publicly battling
   the humiliations she had for so long suffered personally.
   She led by example, and over the course of the 1950s
   adopted twelve orphans of different ethnic backgrounds: a
   veritable Rainbow Tribe. A victim of racism throughout her
   life, Josephine Baker would sing of love and liberty until
   the day she died. -- Biographical genre, about an African
