The FBI Most Wanted Cartoonist: Unfiltered Story of Jackie Ormes

In 1946, a Black girl character named Patty-Jo began mocking the atomic bomb and the U.S. government in national newspapers. The creator? Jackie Ormes—the first Black woman cartoonist. While her characters wore high-fashion and lived in luxury, the FBI was busy building a 287-page file on her "subversive" brilliance. We are diving into the declassified dossier to show how a woman from Pittsburgh used a pen to fight environmental racism and McCarthyism decades before the rest of the world caught up.
