The Innovators: people moving big ideas in 2007.
AS WE BEGIN 2007, ColorLines starts the year profiling a list of trendsetters and tastemakers we call The Innovators. Leaders in politics, art, music and even style, our lineup is filled with the people behind the big ideas you'll see move in 2007. From celebrity activism and training young leaders to an activist judge and a court-martialed soldier, The Innovators are the ones to watch.
We don't think you'll be disappointed.
