The Silence of Our Friends by Mark Long, Jim DeMonakos, and Nate Powell

This Junior Library Guild selection is a great graphic novel addition to a Civil Rights section.  It's 1968 in Houston and a black family and a white family are dealing with the events that are happening in Texas and around the United States.  Sure, the story has been told before, but this graphic novel is the gripping kind of story that you want to read all in one sitting. Folks, the N-word is everywhere, but there's nothing here that shouldn't be in any high school library.
