Proud to introduce the bipartisan Marshall “Major” Taylor Congressional Gold Medal Act alongside Congressman Jim Baird and 43 of our House colleagues. Major Taylor was a trailblazer whose perseverance and excellence broke barriers and inspired generations. #MajorTaylor

I'm pissed at bluesky.
I was watching one those history shows and they were talking about Major Taylor. One of the greatest Black athletes of all time and the first American super athlete.
Blue won't let me post a pic of him.

I actually didn’t ‘know the way’ to the bank she was looking for but, together, we puzzled it out on my iPhone. She also told me her daddy was a huge cycling fan and that his hero was #MajorTaylor. I told her, “Me too!” #Indy

The worst crash of #majortaylor ‘s career was during his second tour of #Australia, the result of an intentional foul. Having suffered some bad crashes personally, this was hard to draw #process #timelapse #timelapseinks #australia #velodrome #Melborne #traditionalmedia #traditionalmediacartoonist

I rarely buy stuff for myself, but it's usually this kind of thing. A Major Taylor t-shirt. Helps me sell our Major feature film script...I think. #bicycling #majortaylor

I have had a few out-of-the-blue discoveries while completing the #MajorTaylor graphic novel. This page, from an 1897 issue of #BearingsMagazine discovered on #InternetArchive hasn’t turned up in any of the voluminous research I’ve done. Quite a gem, seeing 18 year old pre-fame Taylor here.

I’ve been pretty heads down and mum on #MajorTaylor. I’m finally winding down production, 4 years and about 400 pages later. I won’t rhapsodize but man…what a long, strange trip it has been.

In 1899, Marshall "Major" Taylor became the first Black world cycling champion, dominating a sport that tried to shut him out. Facing racism on and off the track, he set records, won titles, and paved the way for future athletes. A true legend on two wheels.
