Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat, said Friday that the United States owes “everything” to black women, arguing that their contributions should be recognized as part of any Independence Day celebration.

Overview

Essence (stylized in all caps) is an American monthly lifestyle magazine covering fashion, beauty, entertainment, and culture. First published in 1970, the magazine is written for African-American women. History Edward Lewis, Clarence O. Smith, Cecil Hollingsworth and Jonathan Blount founded Essence Communications Inc. (ECI) in 1968. It began publishing Essence magazine in May 1970. Lewis and Smith called the publication a "lifestyle magazine directed at upscale African American women". They recognized that black women were an overlooked demographic and saw Essence as an opportunity to capitalize on a virtually untouched market of black women readers. Its initial circulation was approximately 50,000 copies per month, subsequently growing to roughly 1.6 million. Gordon Parks served as its editorial director during the first three years of its circulation. In 2000, Time Inc. purchased 49 percent of Essence Communications Inc. In 2005, Time Inc. made a deal with Essence Communications Inc. to purchase the remaining 51 percent. The deal placed the ownership of the 34-year-old Essence magazine, one of the United States' leading magazines for women of color, under widespread ownership, rather than black ownership. In January 2018, the magazine returned to a fully black-owned publication after its acquisition by Richelieu Dennis, the founder of Sundial Brands.

Notable quotes

“When we say that God is a spirit, we know what we mean, as well as we do when we say that the pyramids of Egypt are matter. Let us be content, therefore, to believe him to be a spirit, that is, an essence that we know nothing of, in which originally and necessarily reside all energy, all power, all capacity, all activity, all wisdom, all goodness.”
— John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson (17 January 1820)
“One must love humanity in order to reach out into the unique essence of each individual: no one can be too low or too ugly.”
— Georg Büchner, in Lenz (1835)
“Names and attributes must be accommodated to the essence of things, and not the essence to the names, since things come first and names afterwards.”
— Galileo Galilei, as quoted in Discoveries and Opinions of Galileo (1957) by Stillman Drake, p. 92
“No question is here raised as to the true content of this; the question is if one will give assent to the God’s having come into existence, by which the God’s eternal essence is inflected in the dialectical determinations of coming into existence.”
— Søren Kierkegaard, in Philosophical Fragments (1844), The Case of the Contemporary Disciple
“Of myths some are theological, some physical, some psychic, and again some material, and some mixed from these last two. The theological are those myths which use no bodily form but contemplate the very essence of the Gods: e.g., Kronos swallowing his children. Since god is intellectual, and all intellect returns into itself, this myth expresses in allegory the essence of god.”
— Sallustius, in On the Gods and the Cosmos, IV. That the species of myth are five, with examples of each.
“Prestige, which is illusion, is of the very essence of power.”
— Simone Weil, in The Power of Words (1937)
