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. So, if one includes this other category, it appears that Whoopi Goldberg is the second African American woman to win an Oscar.
On March 25, 1991, Whoopi Goldberg won the 1990 Best Supporting Actress Award for her performance in "Ghost." It was 51 years after Hattie McDaniel became the first black woman to win an Oscar for "Gone With the Wind" (1939).
