In 1940, Hattie McDaniel became the first Black person to win an Academy Award for her role as Mammy in “Gone With the Wind.” But at the ceremony to accept her Oscar, she wasn’t even allowed to sit with her co-stars because the venue was segregated. Everyday this month I’m posting a video about a Black figure from history that you may not have heard about!
