This month, we sit down with Kadir Nelson

BWI: This year, Black History month will coincide with Abraham Lincoln’s Bicentennial and Barack Obama’s first month in office. And you just happened to have recently illustrated Abe’s Honest Words and written and illustrated Change Has Come, a celebration of the country’s reaction to Barack Obama. Was that a stroke of luck or a stroke of genius?
KN: Abe’s Honest Words has been in the works for quite some time, so there wasn’t much luck in that regard. But it is certainly quite serendipitous that Barack Obama’s election would coincide with Abe’s bicentennial. I think it’s quite fitting to celebrate this moment in history, and how better than with a tribute like Change Has Come?
