Oliver Wendell Harrington
Oliver Wendell Harrington
American cartoonist, 1912–1995
Harrington's outspoken work against racism attracted government scrutiny, and he moved to Paris in 1951, where he joined a thriving community of African-American expatriate artists and writers including Richard Wright. Wright became a good friend, and his death in 1960 deeply troubled Harrington, who then requested political asylum in East Germany, where he lived out the rest of his life.
