A gorgeous collection of 145 original portraits that celebrates
Black pioneers-famous and little-known--in politics, science,
literature, music, and more-with biographical reflections, all
created and curated by an award-winning graphic designer.
Illustrated Black History is a breathtaking collection of original
portraits depicting black heroes-both famous and unsung-who made
their mark on activism, science, politics, business, medicine,
technology, food, arts, entertainment, and more. Each entry
includes a lush drawing or painting by artist George McCalman,
along with an insightful essay summarizing the person's life story.
The 145 entries range from the famous to the little-known, from
literary luminary James Baldwin to documentarian Madeline Anderson,
who produced "I Am Somebody" about the 1969 strike of mostly female
hospital workers; from Aretha Franklin to James and Eloyce Gist,
who had a traveling ministry in the early 1900s; from Colin
Kaepernick to Guion S. Bluford, the first Black person to travel
into space. Beautifully designed with over 300 unique four-color
artworks and accessible to readers of all ages, this eye-opening,
educational, dynamic, and timely compendium pays homage to Black
Americans and their achievements, and showcases the depth and
breadth of Black genius.
