Thanks to NetGalley & Diamond Book Distributors for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Dreaming Eagles follows a son who is in the middle of King's Civil Rights Movement and his father who was part of the Tuskegee Airmen, sees history repeating itself. He then sits his son down and explains his story with the Airmen and how often they had to deal with racism and how they handled it.

A beautifully illustrated story, I really enjoyed the bold colors used throughout the story that help it stand out from other graphic novels. This is almost historical fiction/non-fiction blended into one, it's a great retelling with down-to-earth characters that feel alive and real. 

A great story of an often forgotten part of American history brought alive!
