Eunice Johnson, fashion icon and wife of late Ebony founder, dies



Eunice Johnson, the widow of Ebony founder John Johnson and an icon in her own right, died Sunday.

Ms. Johnson, in her 90s, was to be feted later this month at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for her work in making couture accessible to African-Americans nationwide through the Ebony Fashion Fair, which for decades showcased black designers and models.
