Summary

The uprising at Attica Prison remains one of the bloodiest civil rights confrontations in American history... but without Frank "Big Black" Smith it could have been even worse. Now for the first time, the late Frank "Big Black" Smith shares his experience at the center of this uprising, struggling to protect hostages, prisoners and negotiators alike. Before his death, Frank "Big Black" Smith worked with writer and longtime friend, Jared Reinmuth, to share the true story of his time in Attica State Prison. Adapted to a graphic novel by Améziane (Dark Horse's Muhammad Ali), this is an unflinching look at the price of standing up to injustice
