SUMMARY:Cartoonist Keith Knight: "Comics Can Save the World!" (Valente)
DESCRIPTION:Join Keith Knight as he explores the way comics have 
 historically been used in social justice movements\, cultural 
 storytelling\, and speaking truth to power for centuries. Using his own 
 work and the work of others\, Keith makes the case that cartooning can be a 
 bridge to understanding\, compassion\, and even\, liberation.\n\nKeith 
 Knight is a critically acclaimed comics creator and cartoonist. He has 
 received the Comic-Con Inkpot\, a CXC Master Cartoonist Award\, several 
 Glyph Awards for best comic strip\, a Harvey Award and has been nominated 
 for an Eisner\, and an NAACP Image Award.\n\nKnight is the creator of the 
 long-running autobio comic strip\, the K Chronicles. One of the most widely 
 distributed alt-weekly comic strips since its launch in the early nineties. 
 His socio-political single panel cartoon\, (th)ink\, has graced the pages 
 of both Black newspapers/websites\, and alt-weeklies.  And he drew the 
 daily syndicated strip\, the Knight Life for over a decade until 
 2019.\n\nIn 2020\, Knight's life and comix were the inspiration for the 
 comedy series\, Woke\, on Hulu.  Knight served as co-creator\, writer\, and 
 executive producer on the show. It ran for two seasons.\n\nKnight is a 
 graduate of Malden High School and Salem State University\, where he 
 received an honorary doctorate from the school in 2022.\n\nPhoto Credit:
