Cartoonists With Attitude members Keith Knight, Masheka Wood and myself all have work in this show, though Masheka and I won't be able to get to Mississippi to see it. Here are the details from the curators:

There will be an opening reception for the show Apr. 5 from 4-6pm in the Jackson State University Gallery, located in the Dollye M.E. Robinson School of Liberal Arts Building, Jackson, MS. It will feature a gallery talk by the curators of the show, John Jennings and Damian Duffy. Everyone's invited. If you can make it, bring yourself and some guests.
