Born in 1899 in Topeka, Kansas, Aaron Douglas was a painter and graphic artist who played a leading role in the 1920s Harlem Renaissance movement. After graduating from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln in 1922, he taught high school art for two years before moving to New York City. There he became immersed in Harlem’s cultural life and began contributing to magazines such as Opportunity, the National Urban League’s magazine, and The Crisis, a publication by the NAACP. His powerful images which combined modernism and traditional African art grew in demand for many writers. In 1933, Douglas created one of his most well-known works, a series of murals consisting of 4 panels entitled “Aspects of Negro Life” depicting different parts of the African American experience. Douglas always remained committed to learning and growing as an artist and received several fellowships and grants to support his artistic endeavors. He founded the art department at Fisk University, where he was an assistant professor, in the late 1930s, and spent 3 years earning a masters degree in art education in the early 1940s. He had a number of solo exhibits throughout his career, and received countless honors. Douglas died in 1979 at the age of 79, and a special memorial was held for him at Fisk University, where he taught for nearly 30 years.

Although Black contributions are so much greater than we could ever cover in one month, I’ve challenged myself this Black History Month to learn about Black graphic designers who have made a lasting impact on the world of design. I’ll share a bit about what I’ve learned throughout this month! First up is Charles Dawson.

Charles Clarence Dawson is known as one of Chicago’s leading Black artists and designers working in the 1920s and 30s. He saw combat in World War 1 after joining the segregated armed forces. Upon returning from combat, tensions were high in the US between a growing Black community and white working-class in search of jobs post-war, leading up to the Race Riot of 1919. (Read more about that here: https://time.com/5636039/chicago-race-riots-art-project/) Some of his notable works include a mural illustrating the Great Migration commissioned by the National Urban League for display in the Hall of Social Science; a poster for the Pageant of Negro Music, O, Sing A New Song; and a children’s book titled ABCs of Great Negroes, self-published by Dawson, which features 26 historically significant men and women of African descent. He created advertisements for both Black and white entrepreneurs, and paved the way for Black artists and designers through his work, including establishing the Chicago Art League, a black exhibiting group. He went on to become the curator of the Museum of Negro Art and Culture and the George Washington Carver Museum, before retiring in 1951 to Pennsylvania until his death in 1981.

Your logo matters. It is an integral part of your branding that gives potential clients insight into your values, purpose, and vision. A custom and well-designed logo is an investment that is well worth the cost. Many small business owners and startups overlook just how important it is to invest in your branding from the start.

Today as we remember and take inspiration from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of equality and social justice for all, we are reminded that the fight is far from over. We must continue to work towards justice and equality in pursuit of a world that is better for us all. Let us choose to work together to be better!
