1. Princess Tiana (The Princess and The Frog)
Princess Tiana, the first African-American Princess in the Disney Princess franchise and the ninth official princess. She is a 19-year-old girl with light brown eyes, who is a kind, fun-loving, and diligent woman.
Her character was originally named Maddy but sounded similar to an African-American offensive caricature and was changed. She is so far the possible princess who lives in recent times compared to the timeline of other princesses, probably set in the 20th century.
She was also the first Disney princess to have her mother alive and her father dead. Also, the last Disney princess to be made by 2D animation. Disney made a lot of careful alterations to avoid accidental racial stereotypes while representing the race.
These are the few black cartoon characters that had made an impact in their shows/series, racial inclusion is important in any subject and these are examples of people thinking of racial inclusion in shows that are shown to children around the world, which acts as the primary source of knowing the world.
