TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - As Black History Month comes to an end, an associate professor at the University of Arizona is using his art to keep the conversation going.
Aaron Coleman started expressing himself first through graffiti, and then after graduating from Herron School of Art and Design at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, he got into printmaking.
Recently, he was inspired by a 1950s children’s coloring book that only depicted white children.
