Square Fish Edition - 1st printing. Written by Mark Long and Jim Demonakos. Art and cover by Nate Powell. As the civil rights struggle heats up in Texas, two families - one white, one black - find common ground. This semi-autobiographical tale is set in 1967 Texas, against the backdrop of the fight for civil rights. A white family from a notoriously racist neighborhood in the suburbs and a black family from its poorest ward cross Houston's color line, overcoming humiliation, degradation, and violence to win the freedom of five black college students unjustly charged with the murder of a policeman. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 208 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.99.
