#BlackHistoryMonth “Civil Rights in the Sky: The woman who paved the way for Black flight”

Pat Banks Edmiston in 1960.

“When you want something, you fight for it.”

PBS makes some wonderful programs. But they also make great short films! From The American Experience, this short looks at how Pat Banks Edmiston paved the way for black women to become flight attendants. With interviews with other mid-20th century black women who took to the skies, this is a look at how walls came down, and black women soared.
