Hi folks! Comic books have always been political. They are both a reflection and a barometer of our times. From the first appearance of Captain America in March 1941 punching the face of Hitler, to recent titles like *I am Alfonso Jones* and MARCH - titles tackling police brutality and the life story of Congressman John Lewis - comic books have been and continue to be vitally important avenues to visually tell our stories, to share our histories, and to show experiences and multiple perspectives while engaging both sides of our brain. The Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table (GNCRT) of the American Library Association in collaboration with our colleagues at the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) have been working on reading lists and webinars focused on Black experiences - past, present, and future. We hope to see our lists utilized as resources for educators, parents, and readers of all ages and these webinars as spaces to discuss why Black Lives Matter and Black literature matters. Our upcoming webinar titled *Black Future Month* features Jerry Craft, cartoonist of *New Kid* and *Class Act*, in conversation with Ariell Johnson, the owner of Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse, a Black-owned comic book store. This webinar will be moderated by Sandra Farag and Tatanisha Love, members of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) and the ALA Graphic Novels Comics Round Table (GNCRT). The webinar will be held on *February 10 at 7:00PM EST.* Register at the link below. https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jbjRNPMqQUikXU2S-AhtKQ Hope to see you there!
