Illustrated Black History: Honoring the Iconic and the Unseen―Celebrating 145 Black Heroes Across History With Stunning Portraits and Insightful Biographical Reflections
From an award-winning graphic designer and artist comes this distinctive collection that celebrates Black Americans and their contributions—many little known—to politics, science, literature, music, and other fields, brought to life by soulful portraits.Illustrated Black History is an exuberant and essential chronicle that spans many decades and fields, from activism, business, and medicine to technology, food, and entertainment. Honoring the legacy of more than 150 extraordinary Black men and women--many of whom are “hidden figures” whose invaluable contributions to American culture often went ignored or undervalued. Each entry includes an insightful essay highlighting their impact alongside evocative original portraits painted and rendered by George McCalman..In addition to towering figures, including Nina Simone, Frederick Douglass, Ben Carson, Colin Kaepernick, James Baldwin, Octavia Butler, bell hooks, and Audre Lorde, Illustrated Black History honors heroes such as:Documentarian Madeline Anderson, who produced I Am Somebody, a film about the 1969 strike of mostly women hospital workersJames and Eloyce Gist, whose traveling ministry crisscrossed America in the early 1900s Renaissance man, Paul RobesonDr. Eliza Ann Grier, who was born into slavery and became the first black woman to practice medicine in AmericaGuion S. Bluford, the first black person to travel into spaceClaudette Colvin, the civil rights activist who refused to give up her seat on a bus nine months before Rosa ParksAnd many moreThe depth and breadth of Black genius has always been integral, but has so often been excised from the official American narrative. With recent successes like Hidden Figures and the New York Times Magazine’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1619 Project, this reading of history is beginning to receive its placement. Accessible and eye-opening, this artful treatment is a long-overdue homage to the contributions of African Americans and a powerful celebration of the Black experience that is sure to become a keepsake for generations.
