The Olympians is a series of graphic novels about Greek mythology by George O'Connor.

Each volume of the Olympians tells the story of one of the gods in the Olympic pantheon – accompanied by extensive back matter that tells the history behind each myth. Extensively researched and written and illustrated in a bold, dynamic style, these are action-packed, fast-paced, high-drama adventures, with monsters, romance, and huge explosions. O’Connor’s vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to life in a fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology.

“Readers will recognize Michael Eric Dyson's practiced flair for language and metaphor as he makes an important and layered argument about American political culture and the narrowness of presidential speech...[T]he book ably maintains a sharp critical edge...[The Black Presidency] might well be considered an interpretive miracle.”
—New York Times Book Review

Raised by a single mother in an impoverished neighborhood in Los Angeles, Patrisse Khan-Cullors experienced firsthand the prejudice and persecution Black Americans endure at the hands of law enforcement. For Patrisse, the most vulnerable people in the country are Black people. Deliberately and ruthlessly targeted by a criminal justice system serving a white privilege agenda, Black people are subjected to unjustifiable racial profiling and police brutality. In 2013, when Trayvon Martin’s killer went free, Patrisse’s outrage led her to co-found Black Lives Matter with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi.
