Wikipedia Text
Fredericka Carolyn "Fredi" Washington (December 23, 1903 - June 28, 1994) was an accomplished dramatic film actress, most active in the 1920s- 1930s. A multiracial person of African-American ancestry, and frustrated at facing limited acting opportunities for that reason, she became an activist and journalist. Washington was a founding member of the Negro Actors Guild of America (NAG) in 1937 to create better professional opportunities. She also was Entertainment Editor of People's Voice, founded in 1942.
Couple Profile
Was a fair skinned woman with light eyes, even though she was black woman through and through. This often made her equally disliked by both black and white film fans. Considered not to be black enough next to her contemporaries who enjoyed greater success such as Lena Horne, Ethel Waters and Nina mae McKinney. Fredi still made a huge contribution to the upliftment of the black community.
