The 55 Dreamiest Black Women Of The Modern Era [PHOTOS, POLL]

If you’ve ever wondered why the “I Have a Dream Speech” isn’t freely available, it’s because the King Estate actually owns a copyright on the footage. Fortunately no one owns the rights to our dreams and/or the girls in them, leaving us free to share them with you. No disrespect to Dr. King, I’m sure you’ll agree that we’re the ones who want to be playing with these actresses, models, singers, and rap video hunnies not our children. Check out their pics then vote for the girl you’d never want to wake up from but wouldn’t mind waking up to in our poll at the bottom.

*Women are presented in alphabetical order from left to right.
