A review by marayrr
Noire, la vie méconnue de Claudette Colvin by Emilie Plateau
4.0
A comic book that stands out. A drawing style that has its charm and remains simple
The characters look like small sketches. The illustrations of the city of Montgomery are beautiful. Everything about this book is perfect.
I didn't expect anything from this comic, which a co-worker lent me, but I must say : it was heartbreaking, as it is often the case with true stories. This one is only a few decades old...
The fact that the story of Claudette Colvin, a young black teenager, has been forgotten in favor of Rosa Parks' story, which we have been learning at school for years, revolts me. I hope this book will find its readership and that it will be read and read again. It really deserves it.
