Carter (by-author-146-1.html) © INTERNATIONAL ART & ARTISTS “Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair,” opening at the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) on Thursday, Feb. 5, offers a spectacular viewing of haute couture ensembles from the 1960s through the present while inviting critical reflection on the struggles of African Americans for access to the world of fashion design. On display will be nearly 100 original objects, including accessories and ensembles, from leading European and American designers. Photographs and videos accompany. The ensembles include creations by prominent European designers Laura Biagiotti, Christian Dior and Pierre Cardin; the Dominican Republic’s Oscar de la Renta; Japan’s Issey Miyake; Turkey’s Balizza; and Americans Bill Blass, Halston, Fabrice Simon and Bob Mackie. The elegant ensembles chosen for this exhibition were selected from a collection of originals that appeared in the Ebony Fashion Fairs over five decades. Ebony Fashion Fair began in 1958 as a project of the John H. and Eunice W. Johnson family, publishers of America’s flagship black magazines, Ebony and Jet. The aim of the Ebony Fair, last seen in 2009, exemplified the Johnsons’ commitment to visually show and celebrate the best of black life. At its peak, the Fair enabled African Americans in 187 cities across the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean to celebrate their identity while enjoying first-hand access to international fashion. It gave black women and men access to the same fashion creations as others enjoyed. This was especially important at a time when even department stores were not necessarily free of discrimination. Eunice is said to have spent more than $1 million for each year’s purchases. She was known in the industry for her shrewd bargaining skills. The Fair served as a model of African American success in business. At the same time, it helped to advance civil rights. Aspiring young black models competed to present the haute couture fashion at the Fair. For them, and young black designers, the Fair offered inspiration and opportunities to advance their careers. Every Fair supported local charity events. Collectively, the Fairs provided millions to support black charitable interests including the United Negro College Fund. Sande Robinson, MAM board member and former head of the Marquette Educational Opportunities Program, recalls attending these events both in Cleveland and in Milwaukee. “The Ebony Fair was a special social event for middle- and upper-middle-class black people to dress up in their finest, have fun and feel good about themselves,” she says. “Recalling the Ebony Fair in the exhibition is important for the new generation of young blacks today as it inspires hope in the possibilities for success and resistance to racial discrimination.” James Hall, past president of NAACP Milwaukee Chapter, also remembers warmly his own visits to the Fashion Fairs. “For black people who, in the half century preceding the start of the Fashion Fair, had embraced civil rights and social uplift, the Fashion Fair had a similar effect regarding style and beauty as did the James Brown song, ‘Say It Loud—I’m black and I’m Proud,’” he says. Guest curator Camille Morgan finds “Inspiring Beauty” a “truly American story told through the democratizing power of fashion. Through the incredible costumes in the exhibition, you experience the liberation that style and beauty brings as opposed to the anxiety that often permeates the [fashion] industry. For 50 years, the Ebony Fashion Fair empowered women of all colors, shapes, sizes and sensibilities to explore their own ideas of what it means to be valued even if that wasn’t the message they were getting from their culture or society. Here, fashion is freedom.” The Johnson family’s efforts are part of a move worldwide to recognize the contributions of black women to social change. As late as 1946, Vogue School of Modeling turned away a black model. By 1974, black supermodel Beverly Johnson was featured on the cover of American Vogue. And in 1979, a Black Fashion Museum opened at the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C. Like MAM’s 2013 exhibit, “30 Americans,” “Inspiring Beauty” draws attention to significant black participation in our shared culture. Both show that the appreciation of beauty and artistic creativity transcends ethnic or racial differences. As positive steps toward recognition of African American contributions to our culture, such exhibitions celebrate the importance of African American presence in our city. Perhaps MAM’s efforts might also encourage other Milwaukee social and cultural institutions to explore positive ways to reduce the racial tensions that emerge in a city that holds the unholy distinction of being the most segregated in the nation. “Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair” represents the joint efforts of the Chicago History Museum, Mount Mary University and MAM. It runs through May 3. For more information, visit mam.org/inspiringbeauty/ (http://mam.org/inspiring-beauty/). ALSO FROM CURTIS L.

  • Philanthropy
    CULTURAL ICONS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE The Iconic Impact Initiative by Bridge Philanthropic Consulting, LLC 12 TOP PIONEERS OF BLACK PHILANTHROPY By Dwayne Ashley, Tashion Macon, Ph.D, Jennifer Jiles 12 Top Pioneers of Black Philanthropy 1 | Introduction INTRODUCTION Nine years ago, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors issued a report on philanthropy that reported what to many was a startling fact but reflected what those of us on the ground already knew. Each year, the report said, Black donors give away 25 percent more of their incomes than White donors. Nearly two-thirds of Black households make donations, worth a total of about $11 billion a year. “African Americans have been very uncomfortable with the title of philanthropist,” Judy Belk, senior vice president of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, told Reuters news service. “If you don’t see role models who look like you when people start talking about issues related to philanthropy, you start believing, ‘Hey, maybe I’m not a philanthropist.’” That’s why Bridge Philanthropic Consultants felt it was critical to release 12 Top Pioneers of Black Philanthropy as its way to commemorate Black History Month. Black philanthropy has always existed. But Blacks were brought to America as slaves, were obstructed from achieving the American dream after emancipation by systemic racism, and have seen their philanthropic achievements receive little to no attention outside their own community. We are here to shine the spotlight on them not just to give the recognition they deserve but to set them out as role models. For example, the name of Frederick D.

RACE IN ORDINARY COURSE: UTILIZING THE RACIAL BACKGROUND IN ANTITRUST AND CORPORATE LAW COURSES ALFRED DENNIS MATHEWSON* This article is about the discourse in law school classes in which non-white students are in classes with white students.1 I recall the integration of race in one of my first year law classes. I was one of a handful of Black students in Professor Geoffrey Hazard's Civil Procedure class at Yale Law School. Professor Hazard had supplemented the casebook with materials that he had prepared for a case as an attorney. I do not recall the exact details, but I believe the case was Swann v. Burkett.2 This case involved an African-American couple that sued a landlord under the Unruh Civil Rights Act 3 for refusing to rent them an apartment because of their race. Professor Hazard had chosen the case because it was a personal triumph as he had successfully represented the plaintiffs. Although Professor Hazard used it to demonstrate procedural rules, he brought race out of the background.

  • Minnesota History: Building a Legacy
    January 2016 This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp Minnesota History: Building A Legacy Report to the Governor and the Legislature on Funding for History Programs and Projects supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Letter from MNHS CEO and Director Now entering its eighth year, the Legacy Amendment and its Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund has reenergized the field of history in Minnesota. Demand for history and cultural heritage funding has consistently outweighed available resources since the fund’s inception by a proportion of almost 4 to 1. Part of that demand includes 2015’s record amount of requests, $14.2 million, for large historical and cultural heritage grants ($10,001 and up). We were able to award 33 large grants, totaling $3.2 million. Clearly, Minnesotans are eager to ensure that our legacy is preserved for future generations. The Legacy Amendment has also been the springboard for the Minnesota Historical Society and our history partners to proactively involve citizens in designing history programs, particularly grant programs, through statewide town hall meetings, workshops, and citizen reviews of grant applications. MNHS takes its stewardship of Legacy allocations seriously, applying measurable outcomes and professional standards, ensuring accountability in expenditures. This report describes more than 50 Legacy Amendment-funded history-related programs and partnerships accomplished since January 1, 2015, the first year of the fourth biennium since the Legacy Amendment’s passage. It also includes descriptions of the 198 grants amounting to over $4.5 awarded in 2015.

  • Black History: the Founder of Ebony and Jet Magazine by Thought Provoking Perspectives
    Black History: The Founder Of Ebony And Jet Magazine By Thought Provoking Perspectives John Harold Johnson, the grandson of slaves, rose to become one of the greatest African American entrepreneurs. Mr. Johnson was the founder of the Johnson Publishing Company and became the first African American to appear on the Forbes 400. This businessman and publisher created the most important media source for the black community ever. It is an honor for me to pay homage to Mr. Johnson for his devotion to the African American community and the pride his publication instilled. In my view, his greatest and most important accomplishment occurred in 1955 when he made the profound decision at Emmett’s mothers request to publish young Emmett’s open casket photograph mangled and brutally beaten. If it had not been for Mr. Johnson’s JET Magazine, the world would never have known of this horrific murder. I will give thanks to him because it was this decision that sparked the modern civil rights movement. Born in the south but after a visit with his mother to the Chicago World’s Fair, they decided that opportunities in the North were more plentiful than in the South. Facing poverty on every side in Arkansas during the Great Depression, the family moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1933 to try to find work and for Johnson to continue his education. Johnson endured much teasing and taunting at his high school for his ragged clothes and country ways, as he encountered something he never knew existed: Middle-class blacks. At DuSable High School, his classmates included Nat King Cole, Redd Foxx, and future entrepreneur William Abernathy.
