“The Lady” was a female pioneer with “Julia,” her own show on NBC-TV (1968-1971). She was, like Lena Horne, beautiful and enormously brave in the face of a predominately racist society that was struggling with itself to overcome its inevitable internal conflict among a new generation of Americans – Karma, as it was known in the ancient world of the wise Essenes.

Diahann Carroll (Dominique Devereaux) didn’t just wait to be asked — she went after the role! After watching Dynasty and seeing how much the show tackled big, bold storylines, she thought it was the perfect place for a powerful Black character to appear. They didn’t respond — until years later when she ran into producers at a party and basically closed the deal over drinks! When Carroll debuted as Dominique Deveraux, she became the only Black actress with a continuing role on a nighttime series

Diahann Carroll stormed the Broadway stage and became the very first Black woman to win the Tony Award for Best Actress In A Musical. She is at the beginning of a long line of Black Actresses who shook the industry and made them reconsider what Black Women and Black People could do. To so many of us she is Dominique Deveraux, to others she is Whitley Gilbert’s Mother, to me she is Elzora in Eve’s Bayou (love that film) and she will always be the epitome of glamour, style, grandeur, and a TRUE DI

Rejected Stone Productions on Instagram: "Diahann Carroll didn’t just appear on television — she shifted the entire grammar of representation. A pioneer. A blueprint. A Black woman who walked into an industry that refused to see our full humanity and made them confront it anyway. Her words still cut: “Being Black is not a problem for a Black person. Being Black is a problem for a community that doesn’t understand that you are a human being.” That clarity, that precision, that refusal to bend — i
