Tracee Ellis Ross, star of ABC’s hit series ‘Black-ish,’ took home a Golden Globe tonight for ‘Best Actress in a Television Comedy or Musical.’ Unknown to many at the time of her win, the achievement came as a historic one as she became the first black woman to walk away with the award in over three decades.
Details inside:
As can be seen from her acceptance award, Ross dedicated the win to many other actresses of color – many of whom are underrepresented in Hollywood.
Ross, who plays Dr. Rainbow “Bow” Johnson on ‘Black-ish’ (which is in its third season), has won her ‘Best Actress’ trophy on her first nomination. The last time a black woman walked away with the award? Debbie Allen in 1982.
Before her? Diahann Carroll in 1968!
