Henry Jackson Lewis was the first African-American political cartoonist. He was born a slave, probably in 1837 or 1838 in Yalobusha County, Mississippi. In 1872 he settled in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The oldest known cartoons by H. J. Lewis were published in 1872. At some time during the early 1880s he started working for an Indianapolis newspaper, "The Freeman". He died of pneumonia in April 1891 cite journal|title=H. J.
