Ormes Society

The Ormes Society is an online group that promotes black women who work in the comic book industry. The organization is named after the first African-American comic artist, Jackie Ormes.

History

The Ormes Society was founded in 2007 by artist, Cheryl Lynn Eaton.[1] Eaton was upset by the comic book industry's lack of diversity and wanted to help support black women and fans.[2] She named the organization after Jackie Ormes, a pioneer African-American comic illustrator.[3] The website for the group became a hub where comic book creators could network with one another.[1] The site itself also acts as an archive of members' artwork.[4]

The group ended briefly in July 2015, when Eaton felt that there was no longer a need for it.[1] However, it was rebooted again in 2016.[5]

Members of the group have included Charlie Trotman, Carol Burrell, Afua Richardson and Alitha Martinez.[2]

Then this is definitely not perfect, but does work for that!Use `set rx_side [whatever]` and `set tx_side [whatever]` on each computer to set which side of the computer they should receive/transmit on.
