An even better moment came when Beverly Johnson spoke about the difficulties she faced in the modeling world when she first started-- "too light, not dark enough"-- yet, people would go up to her and tell her how much "weight she had lost" when her career suddenly took off and agencies became calling. She notes how she was continuously refered to as the first "black supermodel," when indeed, she was THE FIRST SUPERMODEL. Amazing how we can continue to pinhole people. Because of length constraints, I won't even begin to go to the Kara Walker race references. For so much of the art world expects artists of color's very work to be race-based, or referenced. I think Shinique Smith is an exception to the rule, but as I really thought about it, many current black contemporary artists' very success is dictated by their own stories on race. How many white artists must create works on identity politics to be noticed?

Whoopi has been telling that Uhura story for a while... but it was a seminal moment for her....a good example about how imagery in the media matters.... and changes how children percieve race.... which is why we need be more vigilant about what goes out on the airwaves....
