The Ebony Fashion Fair exists because of Eunice W. Johnson, a Delta woman. She was the wife of publisher John H. Johnson and an executive at Johnson Publishing Company. She believed in the beauty of black women and created the The Ebony Fashion Tour which toured 200 cities across North America and the Caribbean, raising over $50 million for charity. Her efforts showcased black models and designers and later created Fashion Fair Cosmetics in 1973.
