More celebration of #SupermanDay.🧵
From June to July of 1946, #Superman battled the #Klan in real life, on the #radio.
Stetson Kennedy, a writer for the #OTR show, went undercover & collected intel on the #KKK. He exposed their rituals, bigotry, codewords, & corruption by incorporating it all into the show. This devastated the group's membership, and humiliated its members.

This is the plaque outside the house where #Superman was created. I helped write it along w/ Mike Sangiacomo & @BradJRicca.
My favorite line:
They didn’t just give us the worlds first superhero — they gave us something to believe in.

How it started / How it’s going.
With Action Comics issue 1 released on April 18, 1938, today marks the 85th anniversary of #Superman. I'm not a religious person, but this character may represent the closest thing I have to a belief system. I've been blessed to write about Superman a few times during my freelance career and I wanted to share. Links below, in the replies.
