5.0
A breathtaking look into the black experience during World War 2. With confronting examples of the experiments done on both sides of the war to black people in the name of eugenics. Isaiah Bradley shows how many black people have been left after a lifetime of systemic injustice, broken, hidden, and forgotten. It connects Nazi rhetoric with current day America, highlighting today's rise in fascism. Captain America (Steve Rogers) shows us how to begin to heal this historic injustice, recognise the wrongs committed, and try to give back what was taken.

An ultimately moving story in the lead-up to Captain America that has to be told. I just wish the art was more refined and the story less confusing.
