Not Forgotten Legend DONYALE Luna paved the way for the lighter skin toned Black model.

At the time DONYALE Luna did not qualify as Black in the 60's because of her refined elegant and stylish features...

The European Look. DONYALE Luna's birth name PEGGY Anne Freeman at 6'2" hailed from Detroit moved to New York City in the 50's. The rest is Black VOGUE history.

    What a crock of shit. Blacks demand Donyale and the rest of mixed Americans belong to the Black race when it's "convenient" to their cause.

    DONYALE was the FIRST ETHNIC (MIXED, BLACK..OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT) to grace the cover of a major racist WHITE American Fashion magazine
