Happy Black History Month!


Here is a coloring project for Black History Month. This image was created by me, Elan, and its original design is a collage I made in 2004. The name of this piece is Eternal Greatness. It was created to remind children of the endless potential and possibilities that they possess. Greatness is eternal.

The people in the face:

Forehead: GARRETT MORGAN, Inventor of the traffic light and gas mask

Between The Eyes: MARCUS GARVEY, Political leader that helped encourage African Americans to respect and be proud of each other.

Under Left Eye: MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., Humanitarian

Near The Lips: MALCOLM X, Political leader that encouraged a self sufficient community that owns and supports our businesses and communities.

Small Eye Next to Malcolm: FREDRICK DOUGLASS, Political, philosopher and humanitarian helped the freeing of slaves in the United States of America

In The Neck: JACK JOHNSON, Famous boxer.

What this image lacks are women. I will create one for women and I'll post for Women month in March. Whatever you choose to do, do it well and greatness will be yours.

Black history is American history.
Morgan Freeman
