Attributes of Ebony: Covering Black America PDF
In 1945, Ebony’s legendary founder John H. Johnson set out to create a magazine for Black America much like that of the trailblazing Life Magazine, and that he did. Ebony: Covering Black America PDF
For the African American community, Ebony has been a breath of fresh air, speaking on issues and events from the Black perspective, celebrating Black standards of beauty and elevating heroes of Black America–athletes, entertainers, activists, elected officials, or some combination thereof. Ebony: Covering Black America, by Lavaille Lavette, is a celebration of the treasure trove of the magazine’s rich history, glamorous covers, groundbreaking cultural impact, and authentic coverage of Black American life from the magazine’s inception to the present. “Ebony was Black America’s social media long before the birth of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram”, says Lavette.
Curated by Lavette, this all-out feast of a book is packed with exclusive contributions by a host of celebrities, influencers, and cultural icons, including Common, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Sean Combs, Kimora Lee Simmons, Ciara, and Venus Williams. The book also includes more than 600 covers and photographs featuring political forces such as Martin Luther King Jr., Michelle and President Barack Obama, and Congresswoman Barbara Jordan; entertainers such as Diana Ross, Sidney Poitier, Dorothy Dandridge, Oprah Winfrey, and Prince; as well as sports heroes like Serena Williams, Muhammad Ali, Russell Westbrook, and Simone Biles. Lavette has chosen select articles, features, and reportage of note, including Martin Luther King Jr.’s advice column, and Ebony Fashion Fair photo shoots, divided into categories found within the magazine, including Civil Rights & Social Justice, Love & Family, Ebony Men, Ebony Women, and Ebony Music.
Unique in the quality of its photographs and contributors and chronicling everything from fashion and food to politics and social change, to sports and entertainment, Ebony: Covering Black America is a monumental milestone in African-American history and culture, and will be a treasured volume for the magazine’s legion of loyal readers.

Fabulous, Fabulous Trip by an Iconic Magazine!
June 9, 2022
A definite must have for anyone who ever had the Ebony Magazine in their home over majority of the 20th and 21st centuries! One page after another allows the reader to be reminded of iconic images and historical events important to lives of African American households. I’m so excited to have this compilation of magazine covers and selected ads, and articles. It’s more than nostalgia! I was reminded of having seen Ebony in doctor’s waiting rooms, beauty shops, barber shops etc. I was thrilled to be reminded of people and past events. I can not say enough about this book! Great for gift giving, but you’ll want to keep it for yourself. I just love it!

A must have picture history of Black American culture and history.
April 16, 2021
Excellent pictorial history of Black American culture from 1940s to the present. Ebony was always in our home growing up, so it brought back many good memories about the entertainers, sport stars, educators, politicians, civil rights activists and some ordinary people that were my heros.

Feels like you’re back waiting in the beauty salon with mom or at grandmom/aunties seeing these. Good to have and helps spark conversations with the kiddos
