Ligon felt that the icons in the coloring books, Malcolm X and Harriet Tubman among others, were not familiar to children within the context of their historical importance. Through a basic childhood activity, Ligon sought to engage children in the cultural importance of their history, and American history in general. The icon represented here is 'Dad'.
