Over 50 years, Charles M. Schulz created a comic strip that is one of the indisputable glories of American popular culture.

From a Los Angeles hospital bed, equipped with little more than a laptop and a stack of records, James “J Dilla” Yancey crafted a set of tracks that would forever change the way beatmakers viewed their artform.

Having fought numerous battles together, Lucas Morel and his sister, Lena, and a small but disciplined team of fighters have grown into a formidable unit. But they’re not the only ones who’ve gotten stronger and more resilient. The zombie hordes have developed new methods of increasing their numbers—methods that make life in the so-called safe zones increasingly unsustainable. To turn the tide of death, Lucas and Lena must execute a dangerous information-gathering mission across the Adriatic Sea.

It’s been six months since the zombie plague was unleased on humanity. Now Europe is overrun with bloodthirsty corpses, and victims continue to be claimed by the horde en masse. For the dwindling number of uninfected, life is a constant struggle as everyone confronts what they’re willing to do to stay alive.

By the time the classified report is leaked to the public, it's already too late. A horrifying pandemic has begun to spread, with ferocious speed, from Paris to the rest of Europe. The infected masses die quickly . . . but they don't remain dead for long. As military forces are overpowered by the horde of undead, civilization as we know it is pushed to the breaking point. Those who remain uninfected rush the ports, hoping to escape the bloodthirsty beasts, desperate for some safe harbor.

With an executive order from President Franklin Roosevelt in 1941, the United States Marine Corps - the last all-white branch of the U.S. military - was forced to begin recruiting and enlisting African Americans. The first black recruits received basic training at the segregated Camp Montford Point, adjacent to Camp Lejeune, near Jacksonville, North Carolina.

Racism and discrimination have choked economic opportunity for African Americans at nearly every turn. At several historic moments, the trajectory of racial inequality could have been altered dramatically. Perhaps no moment was more opportune than the early days of Reconstruction, when the US government temporarily implemented a major redistribution of land from former slaveholders to the newly emancipated enslaved.
