Naomi Sims, 'First Black Supermodel,' Dead At 61 (PHOTOS)

Naomi Sims, 'First Black Supermodel,' Dead At 61 (PHOTOS): "The New York Times reports that model Naomi Sims died on Saturday at age 61. The cause of death was cancer.

Sims was considered the 'first black supermodel' for appearing on the cover of Ladies Home Journal in November 1968, a time when African-American models were few and far between. She subsequently modeled for designers like Halston, Fernando S�nchez, Teal Traina, and Giorgio di Sant'Angelo. She also appeared on many other magazine covers, and two images-- a 1969 cover of LIFE and a 1967 New York Times fashion magazine over--are on display in the Metropolitan Museum's 'The Model As Muse' exhibit."

Naomi Sims, R.I.P.

Yesterday, beautiful Naomi Sims has passed from this earth. She was only 61 years old. Ms. Sims was a model who paved the way for many young Black models of today. May she rests in peace.

Mr Glover is one of five Tairawhiti kaumatua featuring in a DVD released this week to celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo — Maori Language Week.

His story of how Maori children were treated when he attended the Tolaga Bay public school is disturbing. The cruelty inflicted on the Maori children speaking their native tongue, heart breaking."
