This biography reveals the lost history of the life of the
first Black female international superstar. Mills was
lionized by the crowned heads in Europe and opened doors
for generations of Black female stars from Lena Horn to
Diana Ross. Although her career and shows changed the
nature of Black entertainment, and thereby the wider
American popular culture, she was largely forgotten in
later years. Anyone who wants to understand the history of
Black entertainment from Bert Williams to Michael Jackson
and, by implication, the history of American popular
culture, needs to understand the ways in which Florence
Mills changed the rules forever.
