This quiz is getting heavy. On a lighter note, who was the first African American woman to win the Oscar for Best Actress?

"Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm sorry. This moment is so much bigger than me." In March of 2002, Halle Berry won the Oscar for Best Actress for 'Monster's Ball', becoming the first African American to win the award. Hattie McDaniel won Best Supporting Actress in 1940 for 'Gone with the Wind', and she had to accept the award in a segregated hotel. To this day in 2019, Berry remains the only such actress to win the most coveted award.
