"The Friday Foster comic strip debuted on January 18, 1970 and ran until 1974. Friday Foster was the first mainstream syndicated comic strip to feature a Black woman in the lead role. Prior to this, other than a handful of broadly stereotyped caricatures from the industrys very early days and a few series distributed through Black newspapers, no mainstream American comic strip had ever borne the name of a Black lead character."
