Objeks & Tings

Episode 7 – Ebony, Not Ivory

A magazine, but not just any - when Ebony magazine came out in the 1945 it revolutionised the industry. For the first time, Black people in America and worldwide not only felt represented, but were also shown in a positive light. This week’s guest, Dawn-Maria France, talks about how her dream of becoming a journalist stemmed from the Ebony mags her mum used to buy her when she was growing up, as well as the importance of positive representation for the Windrush community. 

This episode was a Message Heard production brought to you in partnership with Catherine Ross and Lynda Burrell of The National Caribbean Heritage Museum: Museumand. To find out more about the amazing work Museumand does to showcase Caribbean stories in the UK click here: https://www.museumand.org/
