Par Lisa D. Brathwaite. 2024
A chic biography about Eunice W. Johnson who brought elegant and contemporary fashion to Black America through the annual EBONY…
Fashion Fair!Eunice W. Johnson believed in the power of fashion and beauty to inspire people. After she and her husband, John H. Johnson, founded EBONY magazine, it quickly became the premiere lifestyle publication for mid-century Black readers. Among the many hats she wore, Eunice delighted in writing a fashion column describing the latest styles. In 1958, Eunice launched a project that would change fashion forever--the EBONY Fashion Fair. In towns and cities across the United States, Black models walked the runway in the freshest trends that season and Black attendees got to see people who looked like them in bright colors and haute couture. To make the Fashion Fair happen every year, Eunice negotiated with snobby fashion houses in Europe and navigated racism back home in the US, to acquire the most show-stopping styles for her show. Decades later, her name remains a watchword for glamour and elegance in the Black community. Winner of Lee & Low's New Voices award, Miles of Style celebrates a visionary who used her influence to showcase the strength and beauty of the Black community.Who Was Langston Hughes? (Who Was?)

Her family was counting on the prize money, and people around the world, especially women, were watching.Annie came through for all of them, arriving in Chicago fourteen days before her deadline and proving that women could do just about anything.A Child's Introduction to Hip-Hop: The Beats, Rhymes, and Roots of a Musical Revolution (A Child's Introduction Series)
