something new i learned in 2017 #313

Today's #BCCSpotlight is a legend in the field of comics, Dwayne McDuffie. McDuffie is known for thinking outside the box and making sure characters are being truly represented regardless of their race. His work can be found in the creation of the character and animated television series "Static Shock", the "Justice League Unlimited", the animated tv series and video game "Ben 10", "Teen Titans", and Marvel Comics "Fantastic Four". Not only was McDuffie a writer and creator, but co-founded the Black owned comic book company Milestone Media. McDuffie's story is quite interesting as his early career crosses many areas from English to Physics to Film. There are not enough words to describe the impact and legacy left by Dwayne McDuffie for all generations. Even though we lost a great treasure in Dwayne McDuffie, his work forever remains relevant. #SharingIsCaring #RepresentationMatters #TellingOurStories
