Keith Knight, creator of three popular comic strips (the Knight Life, (th)ink, and the K Chronicles), is part of a generation of African-American artists who were raised on hip-hop, and infuse their work with urgency, edge, humor, satire, politics and race. His art has appeared in various publications worldwide, including the Washington Post, Daily KOS, San Francisco Chronicle, Medium.com, Ebony, ESPN the Magazine, L.A. Weekly, MAD Magazine, and the Funny Times .

His comic musings on race have garnered accolades and stirred controversies, prompting the NAACP to recognize him as a "2015 History Maker," and CNN to tap him to grade America on its progress concerning issues of race.
