Way Black When



I have been reading Ebony magazine since I was a little girl. As I turned the pages and analyzed the pictures and read the articles I was so proud of my fellow African-Americans doing so well. Entertainment, Pop Culture, Health, Politics, Ebony magazine has written coverage of the Civil Rights Movement, Miniseries Roots, and the most influential African-Americans such as Lena Horne, Muhammad Ali, James Brown,   Martin Luther King Jr., and Harry Belafonte.

Ebony magazine is a monthly magazine for the African-American market, was founded by John J. Johnson  and has been published continuously since the Fall of 1945. While its digest-sized sister magazine, Jet is also published by Johnson Publishing.
