BEHIND THE PICTURES

Stories have sources.
So do our pictures.

The page previews reproduce Black Legacy League's refreshed Volume 1 design. Illustrated portraits are artistic adaptations, not original historical photographs.

NASA, S87-45893, 1987. Official astronaut candidate portrait. U.S. public-domain government photograph. Black Legacy League created an AI-assisted illustrated adaptation, simplifying the background and clothing and using a teal and coral palette with warm brown skin tones.
