Sources: The color palette and design of this comic was inspired by two things: the infographics created by W. E. B. Du Bois for the 1900 Paris Exposition Exhibit of American Negroes, which appear throughout (thanks to the Library of Congress), and the narrative paintings of Jacob Lawrence, especially his “Frederick Douglass Series.” I consulted several books: Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by David Blig, The Lives of Frederick Douglass by Robert S. Levine, and W. E. B. Du Bois: A Biography by Gerald Horne. And, the following articles: Valethia Watkins’s “Votes for Women: Race, Gender, and W.E.B. Du Bois’s Advocacy of Woman Suffrage” in Phylon (2016); Herbert Aptheker’s “DuBois on Douglass: 1895” in The Journal of Negro History (1964); Garth E. Pauley’s “W.E.B. Du Bois on Woman Suffrage: A Critical Analysis of His Crisis Writings” in Journal of Black Studies (2000); and S. Jay Walker’s “Frederick Douglass and Woman Suffrage” in The Black Scholar (1983). Brown University Libraries have digitized issues of The Crisis.
