Author Mark Long* will be discussing his new graphic novel The Silence of Our Friends.
The Silence of Our Friends brings to light a little-known chapter of the civil rights movement in the sixties in Houston, Texas. Author Mark Long talks about the politically charged dynamics – and difficult societal tensions – of that era, discussing and showing the process they went through to get that history on the page.
So you'll get a combination history lesson (on things that happened less than 50 years ago in Houston!) and behind the scenes info on what it takes to create a graphic novel. After the presentation, Mr. Long will also be answering your questions.

Mark Long is a video game designer and producer living in Seattle. The Silence of Our Friends in based on Long's childhood experiences with the civil rights movement in suburban Houston, Texas.
Hope to see you there!
DFTBA,
Sti
