In
1974 Beverly
Johnson was the
first African American to appear on the cover of American Vogue. Ms.
Johnson's appearance on American newsstands was a landmark that helped
expand the notion of beauty and it helped dispel the myth that white women
would not buy a fashion magazine with a black model on the cover. Her sleek
and sculptural beauty kept her at the forefront of fashion photography for
over a decade. |
