Black History Lettering Art

In honor of Black History Month, instead of adding my white voice to a sea of blog posts that will be themed for this month, I decided instead to share a few great pieces by some talented lettering artists, who lettered and/or illustrated quotes of significance by Black historical figures.

If you have the time, make sure to check out these artists’ profiles to see more of their amazing art!

(Note: A list of links may not be aesthetically pleasing, but I’ve opted not to include the images in my post, because it would be easy to consume the content and move on. I hope that those who are interested in seeing the art will follow the links, so they can view the pieces on Instagram, and give their likes and comments to the original artists, who worked hard on these pieces. Thanks for understanding. ❤ )
