Beverly Johnson
This stunning photo of Beverly Johnson is more than just a picture. It’s a visual representation of one of the major changes that occurred during the 70s. Beverly Johnson is the first woman of color in almost 100 years of production to be on the cover of Vogue. Making a statement with her cane rows and ebony skin; this photoshoot not only showcased African American beauty but also opened the door for many other models of color to follow suit. Today black women are making strides in the fashion industry and shifting the way the world sees beauty.
