Born into slavery, Susie King Taylor escaped bondage and served the Union Army as a laundress, while also playing other pivotal roles as a teacher and nurse. Her memoirs, which she penned years later, culminated in the publication of 'Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33rd United States Colored Troops,' offering a compelling account of her journey and is the only personal memoir published by a black woman during this time in American history. WBP is crafting a graphic novel based on the life and experiences of Susie King Taylor before, during, and after the United States Civil War.
This enduring story continues to resonate today, highlighting the courage and resilience of those who strive for a better life for themselves and others and offer their contributions to something greater than themselves. WBP aims to bring Susie King Taylor’s narrative to life through her own words and experiences, honoring her multifaceted contributions and ensuring her powerful story is shared with a new generation.
