Ebony and Jet Magazine's historic photo archives are being auctioned off. Here's a look at some of the iconic images from the collection, worth around $47 million in total.
Ebony and Jet magazines were once pinnacles of black American culture. Their photographs were windows into intimate moments of black celebrities, and they were known for their everyday depictions of middle class black life, especially Ebony magazine.
"It was Ebony that took to remind America of black people's humanity," said Jeffrey McCune, a professor of African and African American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis."It colored black life in spectrum."A significant portion of that legacy is changing. Both Jet and Ebony still exist -- though only Ebony still produces a magazine, and their former parent company, Johnson Publishing filed for bankruptcy in April.
