Nina Mae McKinney (1912-1967) became Hollywood's first Black leading lady when she made her remarkable debut in MGM's Hallelujah in 1929. The multi-talented actor, singer, and dancer was also one of the first Black actors whom white and Black movie audiences considered beautiful. Sadly, McKinney was denied an opportunity to tell her story, and her legacy has been underappreciated. Nina Mae McKinney: At the Dawn of Black Hollywood Stardom by Dabian T. Witherspoon attempts to reveal McKinney's story as thoroughly as possible, shedding light on her career and personal life while seeking to establish her rightful place in history.
