A journey west in the aftermath of 1921

Set in 1921, the story links a young person’s flight from the tragedy of the Black Wall Street Massacre with a search for family and ancestral roots. Thirteen-year-old Sadiqah travels west with a tattered map and two companions, giving the historical setting a personal focus: finding a place of connection after being forced to leave home. Presented as a young adult graphic novel, the book combines that journey with historical subject matter and adventure. Its premise brings together displacement, family ties, and the search for belonging without separating Sadiqah’s individual quest from the history surrounding it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical graphic novels.
  • Readers looking for stories about family, ancestral roots, and a journey west.
  • Readers interested in fiction set against the history of the Black Wall Street Massacre.
