Beverly Johnson
Beverly Johnson made history in August 1974 when the rising model made it to the cover of American Vogue, the fact that she was the first African-American lady to be on the Cover page was nothing less of a benchmark for many young women. The following year, she got selected as the cover model for the French edition of Elle, again being the first African-American lady! In 2014, Johnson wrote an article in “Vanity Fair”. In the article, she accuses Bill Cosby of drugging her in the 1980s. Her memoir, which was released in 2015, also touches on the incident.
