Many Strong and Beautiful Voices

Many Strong and Beautiful Voices

Running Press Book Publishers, New York, New York, 1997

Description

This collection of quotes celebrates Africans throughout the world, from America and the Caribbean to Europe and Africa. Because of the diversity of people represented, we didn’t want to limit the audience by making the faces on the cover too specific. We felt the cover should be as rich and warm as the text inside. The hand-lettered type and color palette hint at heritage, and the African-inspired pattern on the case cover provides a nice surprise.
