KALAMAZOO, MI A local publishing company has created a book series for children to color in the vibrant history of Kalamazoo’s Black community.
Season Press, run by Sonya Bernard-Hollins and Sean Hollins, has published its second edition in the “Your Turn” coloring book series highlighting Black history-makers in Kalamazoo.
The project started last year during Black History Month out of the Merze Tate Explorers, founded by Bernard-Hollins.
The travel club honors the late Merze Tate, who was the first Black graduate of Western Michigan Teachers College and first Black woman to attend the University of Oxford.
