Lady freedom fighters

What a time to be working in Nazis. Not just because, you know, they’re back and everything. We’re also rapidly approaching the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the day when the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy and began to tighten the vise on Hitler’s armies in Europe. Convenient, then, that Robert Venditti and Eddy Barrows got to bring back the Freedom Fighters just in time. Uncle Sam, Phantom Lady, Doll Woman, Human Bomb, Black Condor and the rest of the team from Earth-X (the Earth in the multiverse where the Nazis won World War 2) haven’t been seen in DC books since Multiversity. And even though the book takes place 75 years after the Nazis won the war (actually if we’re going by Multiversity time, the war didn’t wrap up until the ’60s so it’s closer to 50 but whatever, let me have this inelegant parallel), the story is very much informed by what we know of wartime life, Venditti told us when we got the chance to chat with him. “…Without the sacrifices of soldiers and civilians both in World War II, our world today would be a very different place,” he says. “ Freedom Fighters was an opportunity to look at that material from a different angle, and you know, what if those sacrifices hadn’t been enough?” This is an angle he’s working for another project: Six Days, an original graphic novel coming in June from Vertigo with art by Andrea Mutti that looks at something pretty personal to Venditti: his great-uncle was killed just after D-Day in Graignes. He was part of the 82...

Brandeis University professor Dr. Pauli Murray, 1970. (Credit: AP Photo) The Draftswoman of Civil Rights Victories The writings of In 1944, Murray was the only woman enrolled at Howard Law School—and at the top of her class. While discussing Jim Crow laws, Murray had an idea. Why not challenge the “separate” in “separate but equal” legal doctrine, ( In 1965, Murray and Mary O. Eastwood co-authored the essay “Jane Crow and the Law,” which argued that the Equal Protection Clause in the Reed v. Reed in front of the Supreme Court. Murray was named as a co-author on the brief. Murray died in 1985, and in the decades since, public awareness of her many contributions has only continued to grow. Murray was sainted by the Episcopal Church in 2012, a residential college at Yale was named in her honor in 2017, and she has become an LGBTQ icon, thanks, in part, to the progressive approach to gender fluidity that she personally expressed throughout her life. Despite all this, as she wrote in the essay “The Liberation of Black Women” in 1970: “If anyone should ask a Negro woman in America what has been her greatest achievement, her honest answer would be, ‘I survived!’” 2.
