On this edition of Your Call, artist George McCalman discusses his new book, Illustrated Black History: Honoring the Iconic and the Unseen.

During Black History Month in 2016, McCalman challenged himself to paint, research, and write about one Black pioneer every day for a month. That challenge resulted in his beautiful new book, which includes 145 portraits of Black luminaries you’re familiar with and some you’ve probably never heard of.

Guest:

George McCalman, artist, creative director of McCalman.Co, and author of Illustrated Black History: Honoring the Iconic and the Unseen
