Honor twelve pioneering Black innovators all year long with the Black Innovators 2027 Wall Calendar — Black & Gold Edition from Descendants of the Taken Ones (DTOA) • Alkebulan. Each month pairs original portrait artwork of a trailblazer with a gold-on-black 2027 date grid, plus a short line on what they built and why it still matters.
Every month is fully dated for 2027 and marks the days that matter: US federal holidays, plus heritage and cultural observances including Juneteenth, Harriet Tubman Day, Slavery Remembrance Day, Indigenous Peoples' Day, Kwanzaa, Black History Month and Disability Pride Month.
The twelve innovators, in order: Madam C. J. Walker, who built a national hair-care business and used it to create jobs; Benjamin Banneker, self-taught astronomer and almanac author; Garrett A. Morgan, who patented the safety hood and an improved traffic signal; Granville T. Woods, whose inventions modernized railway communication; Elijah McCoy, inventor of the automatic lubricator; Dr. Charles R. Drew, who pioneered blood plasma storage; Frederick McKinley Jones, who revolutionized mobile refrigeration; Lewis Latimer, who improved electric-light technology; Dr. Christine Darden, the NASA engineer who worked to quiet the sonic boom; Dorothy Vaughan, NASA's first Black supervisor and a FORTRAN programmer; Dr. Patricia Bath, inventor of the Laserphaco Probe; and Miriam E. Benjamin, who patented the Gong and Signal Chair.
