The First Wives, The Black Wives
Let's dive into the stories of five remarkable women who were there before their famous husbands were worth knowing. Meet Marguerite Belafonte, Marguerite Simpson, Juanita Hardy Poitier, Anna Murray Douglass, and Kathy Ambush—the first wives of Harry Belafonte, O.J. Simpson, Sidney Poitier, Frederick Douglass, and Clarence Thomas.
I also wonder this question: Why did so many Black male icons of the time initially marry Black women and later shift to white partners? What do you think...?
