Looking through the videos of the Cartoons Crossroads Columbus, it seemed like a good opportunity to celebrate Black History Month. Many African-American artists have been involved in the festival's programming the last few years.
Let's start with Ronald Wimberly who is in several videos...
Ronald Wimberly interviewed by CM Campbell at the 2021 CXC.
Inside the LAAB 2021 with Ronald Wimberly, Tanna Tucker, and Josh O'Neill (co-founder of Beehive Books, publisher of the LAAB newspaper).
CM Campbell moderates the 2022 Re-ignition: The Craft of Rebellion panel with Ronald Wimberly and James Spooner (THE HIGH DESERT).
The CXC YouTube channel also has quite a few panels spotlighting African-American newspaper cartoonists:
K CHRONICLES and Woke Hulu show creator Keith Knight. 2022
Where I'm Coming From creator Barbara Brandon-Croft. 2022
Six Chix contributing cartoonist Bianca Xunise reads from her work and talks about life and comics. A really amazing talent and personality. 2021
I enjoyed this 2022 Newspaper Comics Roundtable discussion between African-American cartoonists Steenz (Heart of the City) and Barbara Brandon-Croft, as well as the very funny Peter Gallagher (Heathcliff) and Jim Keefe.
Finally, a great 2021 conversation with Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith, authors of the recently released Wash Day Diaries.
