Nancy Hicks Maynard, pioneering journalist and general all-round source of inspiration, died yesterday at the age of 61. She was the first black woman to be a reporter on the staff of The New York Times, and went on to buy the Oakland Tribune in conjunction with her husband, Robert C. Maynard.
The New York Times’ obituary lists some of her awe-inspiring acheivements. Very sad news.
