Orrin C. Evans and All-Negro Comics

All-Negro Comics, published in 1947, was a single-issue, small-press American comic book that represents the first known comics magazine written and drawn solely by African-American writers and artists.

African-American journalist Orrin Cromwell Evans (born 1902, Steelton, Pennsylvania; died 1971) was “the first black writer to cover general assignments for a mainstream white newspaper in the United States” when he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Record. After the paper’s closing, shortly after World War II, Evans partnered with former Record editor Harry T. Saylor, Record sports editor Bill Driscoll and two others to found the Philadelphia publishing company All-Negro Comics, Inc., with himself as president. 

In mid-1947, the company published the only known issue of All-Negro Comics, a 48-page, standard-sized comic book with a typical glossy color cover and newsprint interior. It was copyrighted July 15, 1947, with a June 1947 issue date. Unlike other comic books of the time, it sold for 15 cents rather than 10 cents. 

In 2014, Orrin C. Evans was inducted to the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame for his work as president of All-Negro Comics (X)

Today We Honor: Maya Angelou

“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” - Maya Angelou

The word courage is captured in many of Maya Angelou words and is given life to those who seek it. The spirit in which we search for is within us all, and we pay homage to the woman who helped us recognize the Kings and Queens within. | CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #cartermagazine #historyandhiphop365 #carter #staywoke #mayaangelou #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ToZc5AIdK/?igshid=hb3ardlme9mr

James DeWitt Yancey aka J Dilla, was born on this date February 7, 1974, in Detroit, Michigan. “He came across like an angel on earth,” singer and songwriter Steve “Spacek” White told Fader magazine in 2006. Most people tend to speak of him this way. His contributions to music were indeed felt as angelic, no matter the alias John Doe, MC Silk, Jay Dee, or J Dilla. But the James Yancey legacy is wide-ranging. What he contributed to the lives of others was duly as significant. | CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #cartermagazine #carter #staywoke #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #jdilla #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Q78xMAjIt/?igshid=w9fweoyp3m55
