Ebony Magazine



       While looking at the cover of the magazine of Ebony this at first look to me as a positive covers. Because you can see that their are picture of some important people and actors. The people are dressed really pretty and looking happy and smiling in some of the picture. This magazine is intended to the black people during that time of the years. Later on looking at the covers of the magazine I started to look at the letter in the magazine and some of it really got to me. I was thinking that some of the caption on the cover of the magazine are not right. Such as the picture looks great and the writing has something else on it. I want to put some out their so you can see. In the 1945 cover it has picture of white children and one black child and the writing says "children's crusade" what does that mean their their is only one child that is black but the other are white and what kind of crusade is their. The other one that I saw was in 1952 where it show that Buke say that most exciting woman I know and in small caption it says " white by day and black my night" to me I think that was not right for what they had wrote their and it like saying about the race. the other one I saw was by Lois armstrong when he says " why I like dark woman, and it says what wac's do for love" I am not sure what it means by wac's do for love but it showing some kind of bad things about black. To me I was thinking that it a magazine about black it shouldn't have this on the cover pages because it making them look bad and I think that they should be putting up some pictures and caption of the black in a good way not putting bad things. At first I had thought it was cover of positive things but later on getting really deep into it and looking at the writing it got to me it can be positive picture but the caption are negative. But I do see some famous and actor in the image. Their are people that did good like Martin Luther King pictures, Malcolm X, Louis Armstrong, baseball players, singers and actors that are a part of the covers. I am thinking that Ebony is a magazine for a black person they should put up some positive and maybe less of negative things up on the cover. Yes I know that when putting up magazine people will read the cover and they would want to buy it to read depth into it when their are negative things on it. Like now a days when getting a magazine any kind their are negative things are pictures of actors braking up and not being together and people see it and want to buy it or read into it and to me I understand why people put that on the cover. I would pick up thing in the store and read about it my self. But I see in some places why Ebony has good picture but the writing is not good because they want to sell the magazine out to people so they can make business.
