For Veterans Day: a Graphic Novel series about THE FIRST BLACK CAPTAIN OF A US MILITARY VESSEL.

“Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero" by DaShan Thomas #VeteransDay #edusky #USDemocracy #booksky #blackbooksky #blacksky #libsky

AT INGRAM, CaptainSmalls.com, AMAZON & A LIBRARY NEAR U!
A few panels from "Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero - Book 2", by DaShan Thomas are presented in this graphic. In panel one, Captain Robert Smalls and his second in command Samuels are dressed in Union uniforms, and are bathed in the light of a nearby explosion. They stand on the deck of a ship which is listing hard to the side from the impact of the explosion on a nearby ship. The explosion is depicted towards the right of the image. It is huge and made of angry shades of red, yellow and orange against the brilliant blue of the sea. Samuels asks Robert: "How much Black Powder?! did Eddie Use?!?!" "All of it I suppose," Robert replies. "Let me tell you something about Eddie, Eddie don't like to do stuff twice! TIME TO GO!!!" The next panel shows two white Union officers lifting an unconscious Confederate. Robert Smalls tells them "Put that captive in the brig next to that coward Ex-Captain." "Yes Sir!!!" they both say. One officer is David Hunter. The other says to Hunter "Can Smalls bark orders at us? You are a General." "Smalls is the Captain of this boat now," David Hunter says. "Captains are the Gods of their Ship. Smalls is your Lord & Savior." "AHEAD FULL!! Fire! on that Confederate ship!!!" Robert says to Samuels. "Sir, Yes Sir!" yells Samuels. He hollers ahead to someone who is off-camera: '"AHEAD FULL!!!!" In the final panel, we see two Black Union soldiers setting off a canon. They both cover their heads and ears to protect themselves from the blast. The book cover of “Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero” (Unabridged) by DaShan Thomas is at the top. Beneath it, words read: "Discover the Heroic Journey of Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero." In front of the cover are letters reading "CaptainSmalls.com". Behind the words and the cover is a red explosive background. Surrounding it all, near the edge, is a red border with a slight glow. A handsome Black Man in a Civil War Era Union Army Uniform gazes to his right. Behind him, perhaps also in the back of his mind, Fort Sumter explodes under enemy fire. Across his shoulder is the web address CaptainSmalls.com. The man is Real Life Black Hero Captain Robert Smalls, from the graphic novel "Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero" by author & illustrator DaShan Thomas - available at Bookshop, Etsy & Amazon. Captain Robert Smalls was an enslaved man who commandeered the Confederate steam ship "Planter" with his wife, family and friends - and their wives and families, sailed the Steamer to freedom, and became a titan of the Union Army in the Civil War. An artistic depiction of Robert Smalls and his Second in Command from the Graphic Novel “Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero” (Unabridged) by DaShan Thomas. Both are handsome Black Men. They are both wearing Civil War-Era blue Union uniforms, and stand in front of a ship wheel. Behind the ship wheel are windows out to the sea. In front of the picture are letters reading "CaptainSmalls.com". Bordering the picture is a red explosive background.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

A description of “Captain Robert Smalls: The Titan" by DaShan Thomas (Abridged) And “Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero” (Unabridged) by DaShan Thomas. An artistic depiction of Robert Smalls is on the left, and on the right are the words: "These Graphic Novels depict the true story of the life of Captain Robert Smalls. Robert Smalls, born and raised as an enslaved person, commandeered the steamer ship "Planter" with his crew and all of their families. They sailed to freedom, and then won several pivotal battles (both in the US Army and Navy) in the Civil War, which in turn won the freedom of all enslaved people in the United States. This is a great story of Black History and American History." Behind Robert Smalls and the words next to him are exciting explosions.
