The 2012 Season of the Black Age opens tonight with ECBACC in  Philadelphia!

Open your minds!!!!!

Dr. Kenneth Clark did a psychological test to appraise the intuitive preferences to "Black" or "White" toy dolls on the parts of Black, Colored, or Negro children.  His results were the enlightened foundation to winning the Brown vs The Board of Education case that ended official segregation in Public Education in the USA.  That was the early 1950s. The Black Age is an outgrowth of the global graphic novels/comic book industry and should be embraced as a unique genre with growth potential.  So why does one question the value and need to grow and share the beauty and power of the Black Age movement with fans and folks of all types.  We have so much to offer?

Attend a Black Age event near you.  Collect the products as well. 

 Indie today: Black Age forever!!!!
