This week, a conversation with artist George McCalman. His new book, \u201cAn Illustrated Black History\u201d, features 145 Black artists, scientists, and public intellectuals whose enormous contributions to US history are in stark contrast with their frequent absence from the public eye. McCalman envisioned the book as a sort of bible - a compendium that\u2019s accessible to all ages, and with vibrant art that draws the reader in.
