Mrs. TNTBS hosts George McCalman as he gives us a fresh approach to Black History.
In a first of its kind achievement - artist, author, and graphic designer GEORGE MCCALMAN has created a book that reimagines our idea of Black History and brings to the fore a vivid array of pioneers.
Appropriately titled ILLUSTRATED BLACK HISTORY- this is a beautifully illustrated keepsake collection. Each of the 145 Black heroes celebrated in this book is revealed by a dazzling painting or drawing and an insightful short biography of the remarkable pioneer’s contribution to activism, science, politics, business, medicine, technology, food, entertainment, or the arts.
From determining the subjects, to the design of the pages, to illustrating the portraits and images throughout, McCalman has created a book reflective of his subjects who paved the way when no road existed.
McCalman first began crafting the portraits of Black pioneers in honor of Black History Month more than six years ago, an obsessive artistic endeavor that would evolve into a carefully curated collection of soulful portraits celebrating Black icons throughout America’s 400-year-old history. Creating equal space to celebrate legends and discover Black heroes who have gone unseen, McCalman’s comprehensive work features trailblazers we recognize and those we should know. This is American history.
