Our Culture........Ebony Magazine Turns 65!!


Happy 65Th Birthday Ebony magazine!!! Ebony and Jet magazines were the staple magazines in African American homes for years, like Life magazine it was the largest size magazine in circulation. The culture of Ebony and Jet gave African Americans something to be proud of, and gave us a reason to believe, it was always uplifting and never bafoonary. Not only did I grew up in a world with the Johnson family who were the publishers of both magazines, but my parents grew up with it too. Though Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are no longer with us, their memory and legacy lives on. Whether is was music, culture, religion, beauty, fashion or politics Ebony and Jet served it up best. Here's to another 65 amazing years. Congrats.
