Author Description

Honored here are the achievements of an outstanding group of black men and women, both celebrated and little known, who have made amazing inroads in their fields and significantly affected global culture. These individuals are unique in their attainments, courageous in their accomplishments, and forward thinking in their activism. From George Edwin Taylor, the first black to run for president, in 1904, to a real-world Rosie the Riveter working on a World War II dive bomber, these men and women have made valuable contributions to the world. A brief biography accompanies the image of each figure, birthdays of other notable people are presented with the months, and milestones in black history mark the days of the year. All of Pomegranate's calendars are printed with soy-based inks on environmentally sourced paper.
