black woman in advertising

             In recent years black woman have made big strides in
             the area of advertising, but regardless of these
             efforts black woman all still shown as submissive or
             being dominated. Few women are shown as strong or
             self-sufficient. I believe a lot of black woman are
             made to deal with racism and the fact they don't look
             like a white woman on their job. I will try to show
             that although things may look like it is changing.
             The present is still closer to the past than we
             realize and there is much that is still the same.

             woman with her hear tied with a kerchief, big fat
             lips, very dark skin, and with a very big smile on her
             face. By the early 80's the features began to change,
             she became lighter and the smile became more
             realistic. I believe the only reason for these
             changes was the woman's movement of the late 60's
             early 70's and the civil rights movement of the 60's.
             Today's Black Woman in Advertising (same song
             Although much has change from the ads of pass black
             woman. Such things For example were the kerchief, dark
