Vintage Black Beauties

Vintage Black Beauties

Celebrating the beauty of women of the black diaspora in vintage style because I love discovering old pictures that are new to me (and I wanted a place to save them). People don't have to be glamorous or famous to be beautiful.

Photos found on the net. Links provided. Not owned by me.
Born Jamesetta Hawkins on Jan. 25, 1938, the woman the public would come to know as Etta James was born in L.A. to a 14-year-old mother. Her mother claimed Jamesetta’s father was white pool player Rudolf Walter Wanderone Jr., better known as Minnesota Fats. It was a humble beginning for a woman who’d become an icon in the blues and R&B world. Here: James singing in the 1960s.
