Product Description

Jackie Ormes made history. She was the first Black woman cartoonist to be nationally syndicated in the United States.

She was also a journalist, fashionista, philanthropist, and activist, and she used her incredible talent and artistry to bring joy and hope to people everywhere.

But in post-World War II America, Black people were still being denied their civil rights, and Jackie found herself in a dilemma: How could her art stay true to her signature ‘Jackie joy’ while remaining honest about the inequalities Black people had been fighting?
