The Middle Passage: White Ships/ Black Cargo by Tom Feelings, John Henrik Clarke
5.0
This story is told entirely with wordless art.
The book, however, starts with about 12 pages of text-heavy script. The author's intro (it was such a difficult subject, it took a lifetime for him to start, then another 20 years on top of that to complete), his son's thoughts, and an historical context from a professor.
The art... Wow. It is so disturbing and captivating. No words needed to recognize the pain and anguish within.
