JACKIE ORMES drew comics for newspapers in the 30s, 40s and 50s that are unique for their social and political content. She also designed a high end African American doll based on one her comic characters. Though Ormes was a dynamic force for social change and cultural education in the Chicago area, her fascinating story has only recently been brought to the light of day. Tonight on Inquiry we talk with writer and collector NANCY GOLDSTEIN who has written the definitive and illuminating biography: JACKIE ORMES: THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN CARTOONIST.
