Join us for an evening with Keith Knight, award-winning syndicated cartoonist of The K Chronicles, author of The Knight Life, musican, educator, and co-creator of Hulu’s series Woke, now in its second season.
Sharing his story, wisdom, art, and humor, Knight lectures on “Comics Can Save the World: The Intersection of Comics and Social Justice.” Attendees are encouraged to have awkward but necessary conversations to fight for marginal voices and underdogs.
This event also serves as the East Coast premier party for Knight’s new graphic novel, I Was a Teenage Michael Jackson Impersonator. Knight’s work is currently available in the Museum Store and will be on this evening as well.
About Keith Knight
Award-winning syndicated cartoonist Keith Knight has been drawing his social and personal commentaries since the 1990s, when he lived in San Francisco, was published in the SF Examiner, and went on to national syndication. His life and work were the inspiration for the television show that he writes for and executive produces. A member of the speakers bureau SpeakOut: Voices Changing Lives, Knight covers topics of racial illiteracy, Black history, the media, and the importance of social activism.
