| Summary |
A remembrance of the treasure trove of Ebony magazine's history and glamorous covers from the past 75 years of Black American life. Ebony magazine has been a cultural arbiter and a staple in Black households in America since its first issue in November 1945. Founded by John H. Johnson, Ebony reported on, and continues to chronicle, every aspect of life from fashion to civil rights, entertainment, and sports, and it has become the authoritative perspective for and about the Black community. The book includes more than 600 covers and photographs featuring political forces, entertainers, as well as sports heroes. Unique in the quality of its covers and contributors, this book is a monumental milestone and inspiration for African American culture mavens as well as 75 years of Ebony readers.--Adapted from jacket. |
