Kids book 'Miles of Style' spotlights Ebony magazine's iconic lifestyle expert Eunice W. Johnson

Ebony magazine debuted in 1945 and quickly became an inspiring celebration of African American life, culture and achievement.

The monthly magazine thrived in print for over seven decades, and within its pages lived the iconic column, “Fashion Fair,” created by Eunice W. Johnson. “Mrs. Johnson,” as she was reverently called by all, is the subject of the new children’s book, “Miles of Style: Eunice W. Johnson and the Ebony Fashion Fair.”

The book is the first by Atlanta author Lisa D. Brathwaite. In this interview, Brathwaite speaks with “City Lights” managing producer Kim Drobes to speak more about why children should know about the legendary lifestyle expert.
