and I think it is something special to be the first black woman to receive an OscarTell that to Hattie McDaniel (Gone With The Wind...1939).
Halle was just the first in a leading role.

Hattie McDaniel won a best supporting actress award. Halle is the first Black to win best actress.

Hattie McDaniel left her Oscar to Howard University in her will. It was stolen from there during an anti war protest. Just one more reason why I hate those lib Clymers. Not only were they anti American, but theives to boot.
