About this title

Synopsis

Following a heated argument between two students, a teacher demonstrates how one person can inspire change.

In this book, students in a futuristic classroom learn about topics like individual racism and how people like Colin Kaepernick and George Floyd impacted Americans' perspective on race.

Take a Stand is set in the future, during a time of true equality. In this future, a teacher takes his students back in time―to our past and present―to learn about times of prejudice and change.

This graphic novel contains discussion topics, thought-provoking questions, and actions students can take to be allies in the continuing fight for equality.

About the Authors

Leonard S. Baker Jr. currently lives in Rhode Island with his wife and two children. When not in school, he can be found on his boat fishing the lakes and coastal waters of New England, chasing stripers and large mouth bass, or enjoying the serenity of his yard and beautiful Koi pond.

Jason M. Burns has had a successful career in the comic book industry, where he has spent the last fifteen years as a content creator, writer, and editor. In addition, his resume includes two original novels and multiple film and television projects in Hollywood. Jason currently lives in Massachusetts with his wife, two children, and a pair of rescue dogs with unnecessarily silly names―Gabriella Von Gooey III and Bark W. Grizwold.
