Our Roots Vol. 2 -  2022
Our Roots Vol. 2

OUR ROOTS Volume 2 is a full-colored 108-paged illustrated book compilation documenting Black History and which came about as a result of further research during the pandemic lockdowns we went through in the UK and globally of course. And staying indoors which allowed me, to write, illustrate and colour many unsung heroes and heroines, young and old, past and present, people, places and events, and the future. The illustrations will inspire many young black aspiring artists in education as well. Some of this OUR ROOTS series have appeared on EURWEB through the years now including new materials. A must-have on Coffee tables and in libraries both public and schools.
