Vintage Black Heroes: The Chisholm Kid Panel Exhibition At The UTSA Institute Of Texan Cultures Museum

This series of historically significant comic strips pays homage to one of the first Black heroes to be featured in a comic strip, appearing in the Pittsburgh Courier’s first-ever color comic insert from 1950-1954.

Commemorating the Chisholm Trails 150th anniversary, the exhibition pays homage to the thousands of Black cowboys who drove cattle along the Chisholm Trail from Texas to Kansas after the Civil War.
