Black Lives is an exciting new graphic novel series from award-winning author Tonya Bolden and illustrator David Wilkerson. Great Minds of Science celebrates the lives and contributions of Black scientists throughout history.

Matilda Evans. Archie Alexander. Gladys West. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. These aren’t names that many people learn about in school, but they’re some of the greatest scientists that people should know about—doctors, engineers, mathematicians, and biologists. Even though they faced discrimination for being the only or some of the only Black scientists in the rooms they were in, they didn’t back down. They kept experimenting and questioning and learning, and they made significant contributions in each of their scientific fields!

Black Lives is the new graphic novel series from award-winning author Tonya Bolden and illustrator David Wilkerson that celebrates the lives of Black innovators and legends and helps bring lesser-known histories to life.
