Working for positive change in the world
5 stars
This book is a great reminder that each of us have the power to make positive changes in the world. It also shows that unfortunately sometimes the path to justice is long and slow but we should ask try to do our part to move the journey forward.
Josh's decision to get involved after reading about the Groveland Four in college and then driving past Groveland helped ensure that pardons were issued. His action and passion helped inspire lots of others to help as well.

Roy Adams reviewed Breakdowns by Art Spiegelman
Interesting read, but not for everyone
4 stars
An interesting story and artwork. But the cover says "adults only"and that's a good warning. Scattered through the book is some nudity and drawings of sex.
Roy Adams reviewed Fine: A Comic about Gender by Rhea Ewing
Informative and moving
5 stars
An informative, caring ook at gender with input from many folks outside the male/female binary. I came to the book with some shallow understanding about all the varieties of gender and finished it much better informed.
This quote from near the end really resonates with me: "and wouldn't it be cool if we all just talked about gender the way that we talk about falling in love?
I wanna have a conversation about it.
Everybody falls in love-
-well, maybe not everybody but a lot of people-
-and in a lot of different ways, and it's kinda weird, and you can have conversations about it."
