Autorenporträt

James Otis Smith is a writer and artist living in Brooklyn. He has collaborated on several graphic novels, including Showtime at the Apollo. Black Heroes of the Wild West is his first book as an author and illustrator. He says: "I was interested in finding stories of ordinary people who lived during Reconstruction, the period between the Civil War and the era of anti-Black terrorism called Jim Crow. This was the first time Black people in America were able to choose where they wanted to live, work, and raise their families. It was also the first time they could choose their own names. America was still deciding what kind of country it wanted to become, and these newly freed people—still a few decades shy of being full citizens—were in the process of becoming as well. These three stories are not the typical tales of violence in the Old West, but those of everyday African Americans born into slavery who had the courage and strength to choose to be whoever they wanted to be."
