This was the first major uprising of the 21st Century, matched only by the LA riots a decade before and the protests in Ferguson over a decade later. Author and illustrator Dan M ndez Moore was 17 at the time when he participated in the six days of protests that shook the city between Thomas's death and his funeral. M ndez Moore's comics-journalism account sensitively captures a fiery moment in U.S. history through interviews with protestors, community leaders, bystanders, and a frustrated looter. He portrays the tension of a city boiling over, political leaders taking advantage, and an inner-city community coming together. \u003ci\u003eSix Days in Cincinnati\u003c\/i\u003e is a nonfiction graphic novel that tells an all-American story of systemic racism and the power of popular movements, more relevant in our post-Ferguson era than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDan Méndez Moore\u003c\/b\u003e was born and raised in Cincinnati and received his bachelor's degree in Urban Studies at Portland State University.
