Synopsis
The author asserts that African-American women's entry into the fashion model industry had a positive impact on all African- American women. She describes a wonderful sensation that she experienced in the 1970s whenever she discovered photographs of gorgeous African-American women in fashion magazines. Identifying with these women was empowering--by seeing beauty in African-American models, she could begin to see beauty within herself. With discussions of Josephine Baker, Lena Horne, Beverly Johnson, Ming, Iman, and Tyra Banks.

From Ophelia DeVore in the 1940's and today's Tyra Banks, Grace Jones, and Naomi Campbell, Black and Beautiful highlights more than sixty years of the Black fashion model's triumphs and struggles.
