— African Proverb 2020 Design Legacy “If you close your eyes to facts, you will learn through accidents” — African proverb ILLUSTRATED BY MARIETTA MIFSUD WRITTEN BY ANTHONY KELLY Design Legacy: A Look at Some of History’s Most Inspiring Black Creatives and Innovators. By Anthony Kelly INTRODUCTION In celebration of Black History Month, I wanted to write this short book to create an opportunity for us to reflect on and give due credit to the work of some of the world’s most creative and influential black innovators. As someone who has been able to enter into a successful career as a Product Designer, I really hope that this booklet will act as inspiration and motivation for the next generation of innovative thinkers and creators. I believe some of the most exciting stories about some of the tech and creative industry’s most innovative minds aren’t prominent enough in the media. I personally believe this is due to the lack of promotion they receive by mainstream sources. These stories aren’t easy to come across, yet it is so important that aspiring young creatives are able to identify role models that represent them and that they can be inspired by. The absence of such information can often leave young black innovators feeling empty and asking themselves questions such as; ‘Has anyone like me done this before?’ or ‘Am I suitable for this type of role?’. I hope that whilst reading this booklet, you are able to answer these questions, and it can help to remove any doubts you may be having. I encourage you to share these stories with your family, friends and colleges to help motivate them to achieve their biggest goals. I believe that we can take steps towards a more equal creative world if we are able to spread more awareness and educate others on some of the incredible successes achieved throughout history by black innovators in this sector.
