Through Jimi, George is introduced to Corina (Juliet Landau, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), who runs the orphanage which the little boy calls home, and a tentative but heartfelt romance begins.

Whether criticizing politicians or society’s ills, dissecting complicated issues such as racism and discrimination, entertaining children and adults alike, or providing philosophical guidance, cartoons and comics serve unique roles for their intended audiences and often reflect the context within which they are written.This traveling exhibition developed by the Indiana Historical Society celebrates the many ways that graphic arts have expressed Hoosier opinions throughout our state’s history.

In the pioneer period they were few in numbers, but after the Civil War the Black population of the state grew steadily as the result of migration from the South. Following Indiana’s admission into the Union in 1816, significant numbers of free Blacks began migrating to the Hoosier state. Throughout the period from 1820 to 1860 African Americans accounted for approximately one percent of the state’s population. More than 10,000 resided in Indiana at the outbreak of the Civil War. This exhibit is a poster display of the untold stories from people of color who settled in Lawrence County Indiana form 1818 – 1914.
