There is a lack of diversity in the animation world, and data shows that Black animators only account for less than 4% of the industry.
Despite the critical success of films like"Soul" and series like"The Proud Family," the animation and cartoon industry is lacking in diversity.
"I broke into the industry that had very few black people in it. 1989, when I signed my deal, I was one of only four African- Americans," Armstrong said. Franklin was first introduced to"Peanuts" in 1968 by Schultz after the assassination of Civil Rights Activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Armstrong says comics speak universal truths, forming connections between different people through relatable stories.
