When they were born 1865-1967 - 750 black women achievers

This curated list is designed to identify black actresses entertainers & social pioneers based on their birth year. This list has been mainly sourced from imdb. However many of the earlier listings do not have a main photo. I have included them when a photo can be found later in the listing or elsewhere online. It is not in strict chronological order but more by category and designed to feature each photo.
