Taking a Jet Down Memory Lane
Johnson Publishing
Company, headquartered in Chicago, has long been considered by many to be the premiere media entity dedicated to the lifestyle of African-Americans. Its magazines, Ebony and Jet, have been a staple in black households since they were first published in the 40s and 50s, respectively.
For those who are nostalgic and want to catch up on a bit of history, complete, back issues of Jet (published weekly) are now available online. It is interesting to see the evolution of the magazine from its inception (it started out at just 15 cents per issue) to the present, complete with features on major historical events, classic product ads, entertainment and political news, and of course, the "Jet Beauty of the Week."
