    Yes it actually made on my Yahoo home page as a news event. And she's not even a TEEN! Do you think the the "This day in history..." next year will remind us?

    Serena Williams Makes History As First Woman To Ever Wear Cornrows On Teen Vogue Cover


    The star tennis player made history on Wednesday as the first woman to ever wear cornrows on a Teen Vogue cover. Williams looks serene and powerful on the magazine’s December cover issue, sporting a coral jacket and delicate gold earrings.

    What a brave woman she is to break down this barrier!

    She's not at all a teen - that part is rather amusing but teens must be interested in her if she's on the cover. As for Serena's choice of hairstyle, I absolutely love her trademark braids! She work them in an elegant Senegalese twist to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

    Wow, what an achievement! And it's great that we're celebrating racial differences! I mean, race is a social construct and all, but yaaaayyyy, cornrows!

    How sad is it that there is any barriers in the first place

    Now, there is outrage that this is news but can someone tell me how this is less important than Kim Kardashians bum?

    Especially the 20 somethings Yahoo employs to provide their hard hitting news stories.

    I was going to guess curtain, but lamp shade does seem to "fit" better.

    Well put :rock_slayer:

    That this is some historic event.

    How many people standing in line at Walmart seeing the cover of Teen magazine in the rack would look at that picture and realize this is an HISTORIC EVENT?? Would call their friends and ask have they seen this HISTORIC EVENT. Where in history will this be recorded?

    Very possibly. There have been major headlines over that and other body parts

    So why not poke fun at the Kardashians?

    So people will be discussing this HISTORIC event years into the future? It will be listed in those "Today in History" blogs? Next year when I ask Alexa what happened on this day in histroy this will be on her list?

    Have an historic events been attributed to them? Do you poke fun at them?
