DEFIANT: THE ROBERT SMALLS STORY
Saturday, July 22 | 3:00 – 4:00pm | Room 6DE
The unbelievable life of little-known American hero Robert Smalls is memorialized in an inspiring graphic novel that raised over $30K on Kickstarter in less than 24 hours! As an enslaved harbor pilot in Charleston at the height of the Civil War, Smalls pulled off the most audacious heist in history by commandeering a Confederate warship, disguising himself as the captain, filling it with family and friends to run the naval blockade to freedom in the North. He then became a naval war hero whose example helped convince Abraham Lincoln to accept African American soldiers into the Union Army. And that was only the beginning of the extraordinary life of Robert Smalls. Look for the team to unveil the alt graphic novel cover during this event!
Join graphic novel writer Rob Edwards, screenwriter of the Academy Award® nominated The Princess and The Frog, producer Marvin Jones III (Black Lightning), editor Chris Robinson (Black Panther, X-Men) and artists Nikolas Draper-Ivey (Static Shock) and Ray-Anthony Height (Midnight Tiger) as they talk about the process of adapting Small’s amazing story to graphic novel form. Legion M executive Chris Cooper will moderate and co-host the discussion along with co-host Michael Boulware Moore, great-great-grandson of Robert Smalls.
