Charles Harrison, while Chief Product Designer for Sears, Roebuck and Company refashioned the View-Master toy that led to its overwhelming popularity and oversaw the design of hundreds of products. When he first interviewed for a job at Sears in the mid-1950s, he was told they would not hire him because he was black. Five years later, he became the company’s first African-American executive.

Spelman graduate, Veronica N. Chapman, created a product that provides reel representation, pairing a love for the nostalgic View-Master with the empowering art of Black illustrators.
