How fashion became a tool for African American empowerment
In short: This video explores the tribute luncheon held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art to honor Eunice W. Johnson, a visionary who used the fashion industry to empower African Americans.
On January 11, 2010, over 175 guests gathered in the Met's Temple of Dendur to celebrate the life of Eunice W. Johnson. A founder of Ebony Magazine and a prominent philanthropist, Johnson used the Ebony Fashion Fair to create opportunities within the fashion world.
The event, held in The Sackler Wing, brought together influential figures including former President Bill Clinton and Linda Johnson Rice, the CEO of Ebony. This luncheon served as a significant recognition of Johnson's enduring legacy as a fashion icon and community leader.
