Happy 100th Birthday Jackie Ormes!!
Yes, today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of the first female African-American syndicated cartoonist. Her strip “Torchy Brown” appeared in black-run newspapers and provided a positive depiction of African-Americans that was largely absent from mainstream comics and comic strips. Today she is commemorated through The Ormes Society, which celebrates and promotes black female comics creators, characters, and consumers.
