Let’s Talk Comics: Golden Legacy. In 1966, Bertram A. Fitzgerald began publishing an educational comic series on Black history in the hopes of inspiring students in much the same way he had been inspired by comics series like Classics Illustrated and Black writers such as Alexandre Dumas, author of the Three Musketeers, and Alexander Pushkin, a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist. Cover of Golden Legacy vol. 2 (1967). Between 1966 and 1976, Fitzgerald published 16 issues of Golden Legacy that featured notable Black men and women including Harriet Tubman, Crispus Attucks, Benjamin Banneker, Frederick Douglass, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Fitzgerald wrote and edited many of the early issues himself, and hired Black writers and artists including award winning artist Tom Feelings, writer and artist Joan Baccus Maynard, and artist Ezra Jackson to work with him on the project. Fitzgerald later asked Dr. Benjamin Quarles, Professor of History at Morgan State College, to advise on the series as well. Each 32-page issue included multiple stories of other Black figures from history, such as Walter E. Washington, the first Black Chief Executive of a major American city, Katherine G. Johnson, a trailblazing NASA mathematician, and General Benjamin O. Davis Jr., US Air Force commander of the Tuskegee Airmen. “THE RESPONSE!!” and a Letter from the Editor. From Golden Legacy vol. 11 (1970). “The Story that Unfolds on the Following Pages Tell Us of Just a Few of the Great Accomplishments of Benjamin Banneker.” From Golden Legacy vol. 4 (1968). “ALL-NEGRO COMICS” / “Ace Harlem,” All Negro no. 1 (1948). Like the earlier comic series All-Negro Comics, published by Orrin C. Evans, Fitzgerald faced significant challenges in getting his comics printed and distributed, in particular discrimination as a Black entrepreneur. Fitzgerald later entered into partnerships with companies such as Coca-Cola and AT&T to sponsor the comic which enabled better printing and broader distribution of the comics. Since the first issues of All-Negro Comics and Golden Legacy there have been many Black comics characters, creators, and narratives published. From Black Panther to Miles Morales, from the historic all Black publisher Milestone Comics to self-funded Kickstarter publications, Black comics are becoming more popular and visible to everyone. Here are just a few resources to learn more about Black voices in comics: Darrell Goza discusses the history of black creators and characters of comic books, as well as the degree to which early African-American superheroes generally adhered to common stereotypes of black men. A contemporary database to spotlight marginalized comics creators. “For visibility. For academia. For inspiration.

    GOLDEN LEGACY ILLUSTRATED HISTORY MAGAZINES, 1966–1976 Repository: Archives & Special Collections, Charles Evans Inniss Memorial Library of Medgar Evers College, CUNY Location: CEIML ASPC, Suite 0108 Identifier: CEIML.GL.016 Collection Title: Golden Legacy illustrated history magazines, 1966–1976 Name of Creator(s): Morris, Jacob Inclusive Dates: 1966–1976 Language(s): English Quantity: ca. 0.5 linear feet SCOPE AND CONTENT This collection contains 16 original illustrated history magazines / comic books on Black history, which form a Golden Legacy series. HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE “Golden Legacy” is a series of illustrated history magazines published in 1966-1976. Sixteen magazines were published. Bertram A. Fitzgerald Jr. (1932–1917) was a pioneering African-American publisher, mostly known for the ground-breaking "Golden Legacy" comic book series initially published in the 1960's and 70's. In 1966, Bertram fulfilled his desire to be a voice as an educator of black history. Bertram would be a pioneer in elevating the comic platform to new heights, as well as reaching new demographics that may have had little interest in black history before. Bertram experienced challenges that tested his resolve as a black publisher. He was forced to scale back the business in the late 70's after some less successful ventures. In 1983, Bertram Joined Mayor Ed Koch's administration as Communications Director for New York City. He continued in this role till 1990, but he never stopped publishing Golden Legacy, or looking for new publishing ventures. Bertram once wrote, "I started publishing Golden Legacy 30 years ago on a "shoe-string". Golden Legacy was designed to create greater pride and self-esteem in African-American families and to dispel myths.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is oblitpreted with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

Written primarily in a highly refined neo-classical mode, the book has been the subject of much debate.

RAP pursued community revitalization through Black self-determination and enjoyed success in its housing initiatives and in providing social services ranging from support for Black businesses to Black draft counseling, health and legal referrals, a Black library, and community awareness program. Although the exact provenance of this small collection is uncertain, the materials appear to have been collected by an individual, possibly a woman, associated with the early days of the Roxbury Action Program and Boston branch of the Black Panther Party. Steeped in Black Power ideology, the collection includes publications of the Black Panther Party, the Nation of Islam, and other organizations, as well as an insightful series of transcripts of Roxbury Action Program meetings held during its first few months of operation. See similar SCUA collections: African American Antiracism Civil rights Massachusetts (East) Political activism Social justice Vietnam War Background on Roxbury Action Program The social and political tumult experienced in Boston during the early 1960s came to a head in 1968 when Roxbury erupted in riots for the second time in a year following the assassination of Martin Luther King. Galvanized by the effects of segregation in housing and schooling, racism, inequality, and poverty, members of the local community began to pursue a radical agenda of community defense and revitalization, fueled by the Black Power movement.

    The Power of a Black Superheroine: Exploring Black Female Identities in Comics and Fandom Culture by Grace Deneice Gipson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies and the Designated Emphasis in New Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Chiyuma Elliott, Co-Chair Professor Abigail DeKosnik, Co-Chair Professor Ula Taylor Professor Keith Feldman Summer 2019 Copyright © 2019 Abstract The Power of a Black Superheroine: Exploring Black Female Identities in Comics and Fandom Culture By Grace Deneice Gipson Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies Designated Emphasis in New Media University of California, Berkeley Professors Chiyuma Elliott and Abigail DeKosnik, Co-Chairs 2018 begins on very promising note for comic book fans, as the long-awaited Marvel Comics Black Panther film premieres in February. While Black Panther is the first black superhero comic character to appear in American comics in July 1966, and his stories are plentiful, the adventures of America’s first black superheroine are few and disparate. The appearance of “The Butterfly,”1 America’s first black superheroine is not as well-known and documented along with many other noteworthy black female superheroines in comic books. The black female superheroine’s narrative, a diverse and complex one, is slowly building traction and worthy of scholarly attention. Her narrative is crucial and significant to the overall story of American comics. Thus, examining various Black female superheroine stories offers an opportunity to (re)explore new identities and territories in comics, reframe our understanding of certain terminology and concepts, and most notably to empower the black female voice.
