Almost 63 years ago, my father, John Johnson, named the publication 'Jet' because, as he said in the first issue, 'In the world today, everything is moving faster. There is more news and far less time to read it.' He could not have spoken truer words. We are not saying goodbye to 'Jet'; we are embracing the future as my father did in 1951.

I am struck by the memories of all of the fantastic Links ladies who worked so hard to host the Ebony Fashion Fair shows.

'Ebony' has been more than a magazine; it is a movement.
