Ebony (magazine)
Ebony a pocket-sized magazine for the
Black American market, has been published since the autumn of 1945, the early issues often featuring beauties like
Lena Horne and
Dorothy Dandridge on its eye-catching covers. Constantly up-beat, like its generic White American contemporary
Life, it gave Black Americans a needed psychic boost. For the first time, national corporations featured Black models driving cars and drinking soft drinks in the issues of
Ebony.
