I Am Alfonso Jones

I Am Alfonso Jones by Tony Medina, 167 pages

This graphic novel tells the story of Alfonso Jones, shot to death by security while trying to buy a suit.  We get to know Alfonso before he died and after, as Alfonso’s spirit meets other people who died in similar ways to his.  Told to illustrate how black lives do not matter to the general population in so many ways, this is an excellent read for teens and for people who do not understand the Black Lives Matter movement.
