Every African American woman of a certain age remembers when Julia debuted on television in 1968, and I am no different. Diahann Carroll's presence on that show broke down racial boundaries and gave the African American community a chance to share her talent, beauty, and grace with the world. But it was the complexity and compassion that she showed as the title character in the film Claudine, playing against type as a struggling single mother, that moved me more and earned her an Oscar nomination.

ELIZABETH CATLETT

Born April 15, 1915, Washington, D.C.;
