The word “Negro”, whether said out loud or written, might illicit discomfort in the hearer. It will go down in history certainly as one of the most cringeworthy words in the English lexicon, next to its close relative which I’ll refrain from using. Nevertheless, the word stands as an emblem of a time in history in which African-Americans struggled voraciously for freedom of equality.

Celebrating Black History month, and in honor of the centennial founding of the Negro National League on February 13, 1920, I decided to use my Adobe Illustrator expertise to enhance the visual quality of some of the Negro league team logos.
