"Unconventional" - Paris Review comic about the 1968 Dem convention
by Nathan Gelgud.
The series is worth a look -- high level, and more of a "look" than a "read," but entertaining and, for me at least, informative. It's up to five installments now, with more on the way.

White Boy Privilege
This poem by a 14-year-old young man from Atlanta has gone viral, so chances are you've already seen it elsewhere -- but if not, check it out. I think it's a powerful and honest statement from a very thoughtful eighth-grader.
