Inspired by an aunt who competed in 1950s black beauty pageants, Nichelle Gainer uncovered a history of glamorous African American stars celebrated in the black community, and sometimes even in the mainstream.
She created the Vintage Black Glamour Tumblr to post their pictures, and now she's publishing a coffee-table book. In this interview with Collectors Weekly, she explains the stories behind the photos she's found and why Vintage Black Glamour will be more than just a collection of pretty pictures.
