Hey we're Ebony /Jet featured site today!

I grew up (like a lot of black folk) with a copies of these fable magazines fanned across many a coffee or side table. Who remembers your uncle/cousin/neighbor who was a hardcore collector of these periodicals. My best freind from a very young age was stacking them deep! I hope we can keep this valuable institution alive in the light of these tough financial times for the printed word.

Ebony: June 1960 Black Advertising

I've been getting a little overwhelmed with all the insensitivity going on in advertising today, so I thought I'd go back and have a look at simpler times. You know when "skin lightner" was all the rage, smoking with while reading with your kids was common place and relaxing your hair was a good wholesome "Perm!". Ah yes, pre-post racial America... I miss it.






Some of the ads were of a more common fare.
