Alongside profiles and photographs of world-renowned Black stars such as Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge and Diana Ross are biographies and images of less-known but hugely influential artists including the author’s aunt, opera singer Margaret Tynes, Cotton Club star Margot Webb, pioneering model Ophelia De Vore and many, many more. Their stories — usually ignored in mainstream histories of their profession — are revealed in this groundbreaking book. I'm going to order mine today! I get to learn about my black history while indulging in some beautiful fashion photography. The author is Nichelle Gainer and you can order the book here.
