You''ll also discover the first Asian American comic book writer and the first runway model in a wheelchair. You''ll meet the world''s first modern graffiti artist, the first Black man to host a TV series, and the first Indigenous American Oscar winner. Beyond individuals, you''ll learn about important groups, like the East West Players and the Hamilton cast. By the time you''re done reading, whether you see yourself as an artist or not, you''ll be inspired to stay optimistic, fight against injustice, and be fearless in whatever you set your mind to!
