A New York museum is launching a new exhibit to celebrate Black comic books and a decade of its Black Comic Book Festivals.

Boundless: 10 Years Of Seeding Black Comic Futures features memorabilia, photos and comic books by Black writers and illustrators that focus on Black heroes. It is organised by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, a research library that is part of the New York Public Library system.
