Ebony : Covering the First 75 Years

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 cooking, and it has become the authoritative perspective for and about the black community. Curated by Ebony Publishing s president and publisher, Lavaille Lavette, this all-out feast of a book is packed with exclusive contributions by Ebony s editor in chief Tracey Ferguson, as well as a host of celebrities, influencers, and cultural icons, including Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Will Smith, Samuel L. Jackson, Quincy Jones, Snoop Dogg, Magic Johnson, Deshaun Watson, and Eddie Levert.
