Yesterday, my mom and I came across this video on YouTube, which put together a list of the Black/African American stage and screen stars of the 1920's to the 1950's. Surprisingly, I had no previous knowledge of most of these women, however, I was amazed at how beautiful and fashionable these ladies where back then! So, I thought I would share some photos of these gorgeous starlets of the past, with you. I must admit...as soon as I saw these photos, I was totally inspired! I hope you will be too.
Let me know what you think.
