“The first issue of Essence featured a cover showing a beautiful, sensually full-featured black woman crowned by a glistening Afro emerging from shadow into the light of a new day. The cover date was May 1970, the newsstand price was 60 cents, the subscription rate was $5.00 for a year, $9.00 for two years, and the magazine had 82 pages, 13 of them advertising.”

“On the sale of Essence Communications Inc: "What I would first learn is something that Suzanne de Passe, the legendary Hollywood producer who headed Motown Productions, commented on thirty years ago when there was talk of Motown being sold: 'In a certain way black people seem to feel that black companies owe them something extra, the kind of something extra that cannot be given if you want to stay in business.”
