Ebony Magazine – January 1969 – Georgianna White Cover (Vol. XXIV, No. 3) – Very Good Condition
This January 1969 issue of Ebony Magazine showcases Georgianna White on the cover, representing the rising popularity of the natural look in hair and fashion.

Michael Hennessy, White’s cover appearance captures a cultural shift toward embracing Black identity in both fashion and form.
The magazine is in very good condition, with minor wear on edges and well-preserved for its age. It comes with a plastic protective covering. The item shown in the photos is the exact copy you will receive. Please check images for full condition details.
