In this unique biography coloring book, twelve ready-to-color portraits sit across from short profiles of 21st-century black changemakers, people from various fields who have made history in this century. Color the grayscale pages that follow each bio. The same images are presented in full color, so feel free to use the completed color versions as references or use your own color palettes to create your renditions.

This is a coloring book like you’ve never experienced. Not only will you engage in hours of coloring fun, but you’ll also learn about the subjects presented here. Among the changemakers you’ll meet are the first black secretary of defense, the first black female head of a major cable news network, the youngest floor trader at the New York Stock Exchange, the lead developer of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), the youngest inaugural poet in the nation, the wealthiest black person in the U.S., and several others.

Instead of the usual black line art you’ve seen in other coloring books, 21st Century Black Changemakers features detailed grayscale images in a refined style that brings the subjects to life. Adding your touch of color will lift the art to even greater levels.
