Your Black Friend (by Ben Passmore)

Picked up for the Read Harder Challenge, this comic is only 11 pages long, but still packs a punch. It's a message to white liberals from "your black friend" and serves as an illumination of the black experience as well as a call to action to actually use your privilege in ways that help black people. 

It reminds me of The Hate U Give in some parts, where Passmore talks about being too black for white people and too white for black people.  It's also personally challenging to me as I think about how movements like #MeToo and #NeverAgain have effected real change, while we still have black men getting shot in their backyards in California.

11 pages, but thought-provoking for sure.
