The Wives of Harry Belafonte, O.J. Simpson, Sidney Poitier, Frederick Douglass, and Clarence Thomas

Let's dive into the stories of five remarkable women who were there before their famous husbands were worth knowing. Meet Marguerite Belafonte, Marguerite Simpson, Juanita Hardy Poitier, Anna Murray Douglass, and Kathy Ambush—the first wives of Harry Belafonte, O.J. Simpson, Sidney Poitier, Frederick Douglass, and Clarence Thomas.
