| MORRIE TURNER - SAT ONLY |
Cartoonist Morrie Turner, a native of Oakland, CA, turned to cartooning full-time in 1964 and is the first nationally syndicated African-American cartoonist. In 1965 he created the Wee Pals comic strip. It was Turner's intention to portray a world without prejudice, a world in which differences - race, religion, gender, and physical and mental ability - are cherished, not scorned. When Wee Pals was first created, bringing black characters to the comics' pages was by no means an easy task. In 1965, only five major newspapers published the strip. It was not until 1968 - and the tragic assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. - that Wee Pals achieved nationwide acceptance. Within three months of King's death, the strip was appearing in over 100 newspapers nationwide. Since that time, Morrie has written and illustrated many books for children and has received the Anti-Defamation League's Humanitarian award. In 2000, he won the prestigious "Sparky Award," named after famed cartoonist Charles Schultz, creator of "Peanuts." Morrie has received numerous other awards for his comic strip, including the awards from the American Red Cross and the NAACP, the Boys and Girls Club Image Award, the B'Nai Brith Humanitarian Award and California Educators Award. One life-changing honor, was during the Vietnam War, when he was one of six cartoonists asked by the National Cartoonist Society to go to Vietnam, where he spent 27 days on the front lines and in hospitals drawing more than 3,000 caricatures of service people. The Wee Pals comic strip became an animated sitcom called "Kid Power" which debuted on ABC in September, 1972. Kid Power was the first truly multicultural Saturday morning cartoon series. The show's premise was an extension of the comic strip: a pro-social animated sitcom which chronicled the adventures of a multi-ethnic group of loveable youngsters who called themselves "The Rainbow Club." Kid Power ran for two seasons, and produced seventeen episodes. The show was hailed as a "multiracial Peanuts". Today, Morrie continues to work with children in small cartooning programs in the inner city. He is a guest lecturer at numerous California schools, universities and libraries, and continues to reach approximately 25 million readers with his Wee Pals characters. Morrie's recently released "Wee Pals Salute African Americans in the Military Throughout History." His latest book is "Black Sports Heroes Past and Present."
