Tribute Mondays: Nina Mae McKinney

Nina Mae McKinney (June 13, 1912 – May 3, 1967)

Miss Nina Mae McKinney was a talented Actress, Dancer and Singer, whose career suffered set backs because film makers of her day thought her beauty would make her as famous as White Actresses, if they placed her in major roles. She accomplished much being able to side step racism. Thanks for your contribution Miss McKinney, you are appreciated. Please take a listen here and have a great Monday: Pie, Pie Blackbird (1932) with Eubie Blake, and Nina Mae McKinney and The Nicholas Brothers in The Black Network,
