Review Quotes:
"A brilliant introduction to a powerful Black female politician and voting rights activist. Todd and Freeman bring this to life in their creative biography of Georgia-based politician Abrams. Voting rights champions across two centuries--Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Septima Poinsette Clark, and Fannie Lou Hamer--speak to one another about Abrams as they reflect on the barriers that national and state governments have systematically erected to prevent specific populations from voting." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Freeman's airbrush-style digital art leans into portraiture while visually bridging the astral divide, evoking yearning, frustration, and sisterly pride in their ongoing mission of purpose." - Publishers Weekly
