Absence of Women Fliers Mark Earhart Ceremony
Negro women pilots were conspicuously absent from a Smithsonian National Air Museum tribute to Amelia Earhart. The event, organized by Amelia Earhart Post 678 of the American Legion in Los Angeles, highlighted ongoing discrimination in aviation. Noted Black aviators like Dorothy Darby and Willia B. Brown are referenced, with estimates placing around 50 Negro women aviators in the U.S. today, despite no invite to the ceremony.
