First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth

(W) Angélique Roché (A) Alvin Epps, Bex Glendining, Millicent Monroe
(C) Damali Beatty (L) Alexis Bennett with Andworld Design

First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth was created with the support and involvement of both Dr. Lee and her granddaughter, Mrs. Dione Sims, and is brought to life by three distinguished artists. Writer Angélique Roché conducted in-person interviews with Dr. Lee and immersed herself in extensive research for the book. The ambitious biography, which includes back matter that provides more insights into Juneteenth’s history and the making of the graphic novel, will be released 46 years after Juneteenth was first recognized as a statewide holiday by the state of Texas and five years since it was finally recognized as a national federal holiday. The book will also be published as part of a yearlong celebration of Opal Lee’s 100th year on Earth.

Born on October 7, 1926, in Marshall, Texas, Opal Lee grew up in a racially divided America and dedicated her life to overcoming the obstacles presented therein. A lifelong educator, Dr. Lee has been a community activist all her life, and she would take on the movement to celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth not just as a holiday, but as a symbol of comprehensive freedom for all people.I n June 2021the then-94-year-old Dr. Lee sat in the front row as an honored guest at the White House as President Joe Biden signed the bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Dr. Opal’s life personifies the fight for everyday freedoms that leads to lasting change – and as the Grandmother of Juneteenth says, “There is so much more to do.”

Kat Abughazaleh turns to Comics in her Campaign for Congress

Kat Abughazaleh

The use of comics in politics isn’t something new and goes back decades, if not over a hundred years if you want to include political cartoons. But, in recent years, campaigns have re-embraced the printed page to help promote their candidates. The latest is Kat Abughazaleh who is running for Congress in Illinois’ Ninth District. The district covers parts of Cook, Lake, and McHenry counties and currently represented by Democrat Jan Schakowsky, who is not seeking reelection, in one of the most reliably Democratic districts in Chicago and all of Illinois. There’s currently about 16 individuals running in the Democratic primary.

The comic introduces Kat and inspired by a love of comcis, graphic novels, and manga, and introduces the candidate to voters, focusing on what she cares about and why she’s running.

The artwork was originally created as a direct mail comic illustrated by Chicago based artist and publisher Josh Blaylock creator of Mercy Sparx, The Disavowed, and more at Devil’s Due.

Now, all five editions are being collected to help raise money for the campaign in a small, limited printed run.

You can get your 1st edition print comic, and get it autographed, by donating $25 to the campaign now through ActBlue.

Whomever wins the primary will most likely win the general election.
