Yeah, the last time a black woman won AOTY was 1999 when Lauryn did it, she won in 2000 as a producer but that doesn't count since she just produced one song from the recipient album.
I just noticed all black female AOTY winners (so far) won in the 90s
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions (1974)
Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale (1975)
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life (1977)
Michael Jackson - Thriller (1984)
Lionel Richie - Can't Slow Down (1985)
Quincy Jones - Back on the Block (1991)
Natalie Cole - Unforgettable... with Love (1992)
Whitney Houston - The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album (1994)
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1999)
OutKast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2004)
