RIP Nancy Maynard

Who???
Nancy Maynard was the 1st black, female reporter for the NYTimes AND she and her husband owned and ran the Oakland Trib for 9 damn years.

That's not all! She and said hubby founded the Maynard Institution for Journalism Education, she was the 1st president, training zillions (okay hundreds) of minority reporters and changing the complexion of news rooms all over the country.

What did you do today?
