Tim Fielder adapts W. E. B. Du Bois’s seminal 1920 short story The Comet into a graphic novel. With The Comet, Du Bois created one of the first Afrofuturist narratives, a short story with racism and religion as major themes. Greatly influenced by Germany and the nationalism, anti-Semitism, and racism he experienced there, these issues would have a lasting impact on Du Bois’s literary output and his contributions to the civil rights movement. The exhibit showcases all the sequential art from the graphic novel, telling this powerful story in a unique way.

On show through May 2.
