Correction: There have been more than 3 Black women on the cover of Vogue

I should know better, and do more research. Thank you to my readers who do better research and pointed out my mistake. My apologies.  I wrote a post about how Jennifer Hudson made history by being only the third Black Woman to make the cover of U.S. Vogue behind Oprah and Halle Berry. I stand corrected, and so should the media places where I saw this story. Jennifer is actually the first Black female singer to make the cover, but there have been many other black women who have paved the way.

Along with Jennifer, Oprah, and Halle the other TV/movie celebrity type includes Shari Belafonte, daughter of Harry Belafonte. There has been an Olympic Gold medalist, Marion Jones, and then a slew of models including:

• Beverly Johnson (In 1974, the first Black woman to ever grace the Vogue cover)
• Peggy Dillard
• Sheila Johnson
• Louise Vyent
• Kara Young
• Karen Alexander
• Naomi Campbell
• Kiara Kabukuru
• Liya Kebede
• Stephanie Roberts in a group cover shot
• Brandi Quinones in a group cover shot
• Mel B. when the Spice Girls made the cover
• Iman with a group of models for a special 1999 Millenium cover
