Thank you so much for this insight into our history as flight attendants in the USA. I was hired by National Airlines in September 1973, and Undra was a role model and a beacon of light to me and the airline industry!! This is so enlightening and uplifting!! Thank you again, and to God be the glory!!
Had no idea, thanks for suggesting and sharing
Thank you for sharing. This kind of information is so necessary for young people to know. And yet the Republican party and Ron Desantis consider this evil and woke. And God bless America but America needs to fully awaken.
Back in the 70s' my oldest sister was interviewed for an airline hostess job. She was about 19 at that time. The interviewer came to our home. Never knew what happened with that. My family is Afro Descendant.
Absolutely mind blowing the airline industry is full of crazy ass people
Remember:CJ Bostic Dallas-based Southwest Airlines is mourning the loss of a company and industry pioneer. CJ Bostic, the airline's first Black flight attendant, died this week. Bostic was one of the company's original flight attendants and over her 49-year career had become a bit of a celebrity among crew members .Jan 12, 2022
P.S. the need for current day racism is so great the filmmakers had to resort to black & white images to find some.
