Description of Pictures: The Many Shades Of Heroism: Through The African American Lens
As part of the DC in D.C. event, this panel discussion will look beyond the super suit to the African-American men and women who are heroes to their community. 2018 will not only bring Black Lightning, a new African-American DC Super Hero to television screens (40 years after the electrifying hero was created), but also a new DC comic book from Oscar®-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and more exciting storytelling featuring African-American characters.
Participants:
(Top Row)
* Chris Chalk (Gotham star)
* John Ridley (Comic book writer/Oscar®-winning screenwriter, 12 Years a Slave)
* Mara Brock Akil (Executive producer, Black Lightning)
* Cress Williams (Black Lightning star)
* Salim Akil (Executive producer, Black Lightning)
(Bottom Row)
* Candice Patton (The Flash star)
* Jamie Broadnax (Black Girl Nerds editor-in-chief)
* Denys Cowan
* Alice Randall (Author/comic book writer, The Wind Done Gone, Earth M)
* David Harewood (Supergirl star)
Moderator: David Betancourt, Reporter, The Washington Post

Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.
