The answer to your question depends on the Oscar categories you are interested in knowing about. For instance, if you are interested in knowing about the winners in the Best Actress in a Leading Role category, then there has only been one African American woman to win: Halle Berry in 2001 for her role in Monster's Ball. However, if you include other categories, such as Best Actress in a Supporting Role, the list expands. For instance, the first African American woman to win in this category was Hattie McDaniel in 1939 for her role in Gone with the Wind. The second African American woman to win in this category was Whoopi Goldberg in 1990 for her role in Ghost.
