Jackie Ormes: First African-American Woman Cartoonist - Beyond Black and White

"Her work for the Pittsburgh Courier and the Chicago Defender—both incredibly influential African-American newspapers—was utterly groundbreaking and remains unique, even in the context of modern comics. Her first work, Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, featured the adventures of the titular Torchy, a stylish, intelligent young African-American woman who (feigning illiteracy) boards a whites-only train car to New York City and changes her life.  "- Beyond Black and White

How and why Andrew Jackson destroyed Angola (Settlement in Florida for free Africans)

How and why Andrew Jackson destroyed Angola (Settlement in Florida for free Africans)



Jackson invaded Florida in 1816, claiming national security concerns.
The future president ordered the destruction of Negro Fort, a former
British stronghold left to black allies after the War of 1812. The
demise of the Florida Panhandle outpost likely caused a population boom
for Angola, which was founded in about 1812.



Historians say finding Angola would give new insight into Florida’s role
as a safe haven for runaway slaves. It would also highlight the state’s
violent transition into a bastion of bondage.
