This woman, this Goddess like creature is no other than Donyale Luna. Now she is crowned as the first black supermodel and I can see why. her Bold features, her elongated neck and those legs. She is what so many models today dream of. Black or white if they don't take a page from her scrap book they are crazy. Her story is a bit tragic, but she was able to take the supermodel plateau to a whole new level. While she credits being more than on ethnicity, she was born and raised in Detroit as Peggy Ann Freeman later changing her name to Donyale Luna. Just looking at her photos I can imagine the energy around her, and I can see she loved the camera as it so loved her. From the history books stand point she was a bit of a firecracker who was overindulgent in the drugs department, and it lead to her early departure from this world. I miss her and I never knew her. If only she knew how many little girls of all races were inspired by her beauty. Long live her spirit and accomplishments that made it if only a little bit easier for women of color to be seen as the beauties we are. Peggy Ann Freeman A.K.A Donyale Luna January 1,1945 to May 17,1979
