Today's video link--Jackie Ormes

Sharing from the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library's site is another great piece of footage from a great comic artist. Jackie Ormes was the very first African American woman to get her own newspaper strip. All of you should check her strip and read Nancy Goldstein book which can be bought at this link
This segment was part of a newsreel call One Tenth of a Nation and the entire thing was also preserved by the LOC which can be seen here...
