Black History: Ruth Carol Taylor

RUTH CAROL TAYLOR (1931-present)

Became the first black flight attendant in the United States when she was hired Feb. 11, 1958, by Mohawk Airlines.

Only six months after breaking that historic barrier, Taylor's career ended due to another discriminatory barrier, the airline's practice of not employing married flight attendants.
