ABC Announces First Black 'Bachelor' Star
Reuters reports that “The Bachelor” will have its first Black headliner in its 25-season history.
On Friday, the ABC show announced that North Carolina native, Matt James, will be their next leading man.
James was announced as the headliner after “Bachelorette” star Rachel Lindsay, who is also Black, said that she would cut ties with the franchise if they did not diversify.
