Making Curriculum Pop

Hello,

I'm taking a multicultural and urban education class towards my teaching credential and I'm making a list of graphic novels with non-white protagonists as part of an assignment.  I thought I'd post it here in see if anyone has anything to add.

Hey John - have you checked out "Yummy" here is Stergious' review - and another review here. Also FYI Gene Yang is a member.
