"New voices present relevant, topical visions of social change and personal histories, some true-to-life while others are semi-fictionalized accounts of real experiences. Jules, a Black teenager, is given a pair of old binoculars as he heads out for a morning of birdwatching in Central Park. He soon learns the binoculars show him a lot more than birds, and maybe they keep him safe, too. Jesse Holland's Mississippi farm has been in his family since their first ancestor was freed from slavery, tended by his grandfather and his father before him. But as Jesse grows into a man, he's unsure if a patch of land in the Piney Woods and a life of tilling soil is his true destiny. But destiny can mean so much more than dirt and a tractor. Lanice's passion for cooking and desire for a career in the culinary arts are challenged by the source of her inspiration, her father, who is concerned about his only daughter working in a kitchen, like so many Black Americans before her. These stories and more all have one thing in common: innovative styles and compelling stories that examine how our culture builds understanding, tracing society's arc toward justice as we evolve in pursuit of a more just and compassionate world."--… (altro)

Stories that are sincere, serious, sensitive, and sympathetic, yet so sedate, stilted, and short.
Mostly written by people who don't usually do comics, these tales don't really make the most of the form, maybe because they seem to be aiming for a younger audience like the old afterschool specials. There are a few standouts, like the ones about medical gaslighting, but not enough to carry the day. ( )

Once upon a time, somewhere in the USA . . .
If you're going birding this morning, Jules, take these.
Dad, those binoculars date from the Pleistocene!
They kept your grandfather safe during the war, and when he came home from Korea during the Civil Rights protests. He said they had special powers.
