In 1961, the Washington Post newspaper hired an African American woman as a reporter for the first time. Dorothy Butler Gilliam was only 24 when she got the job. At the time there were hardly any women or minorities working in newsrooms. Most of her white colleagues wouldn't speak to her, taxis wouldn't stop for her. Dorothy has been speaking to Farhana Haider about the difficulties she faced as a black woman journalist in 1960s America and her fight to diversify the media in the US.

Today, a conversation about diversity in the news media with Dorothy Butler Gilliam, a journalist who has spent a lifetime breaking down barriers. She has been a journalist for more than six decades. She started in the Black press, working in Louisville, Memphis and Chicago.And then, at the age of 23, she became the first woman of color to be a reporter at The Washington Post. When Ms. Gilliam was hired by The Post in 1961, there were only two people of color in The Post newsroom. Both were men. And of the small handful of women who were reporters, all were white. And they were mostly restricted to writing about so-called “women’s issues.”Dorothy Butler Gilliam began to change all of that. She started her career at The Post as a general assignment reporter, not a women’s reporter. She later worked as an editor and a columnist, as well.Ms. Gilliam helped others break down barriers too. In the mid 1990s, she served as the president of the National Association of Black Journalists, and for decades, she worked with young journalists of color to cultivate their careers. Some of those she helped eventually joined her as journalists at The Post.Her new memoir is called, Trailblazer: A Pioneering Journalist's Fight to Make the Media Look More Like America.She will be appearing tonight at the Enoch Pratt Central Library in Baltimore as part of the Brown Lecture Series. The event begins at 7 pm.

Dorothy Butler Gilliam - Trailblazer Journalist Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #367. As part of our Smithsonian Associates HerStory author Interview series, we are joined today by author, journalist, visionary leader, Dorothy Butler Gilliam. Dorothy Butler Gilliam will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates program, July 9, 2019, and the title of her presentation is Getting the Story Right Dorothy Gilliam is that most rare of revolutionaries, one who not only climbs the barricades, but lets down a ladder to help others up, too. In her more than six decades at the centers of journalism in New York and Washington, she has often been the first African American woman and the best of everything. Her memoir shows us that a few can be both, but no one should have to. "We will have no democracy until each of us can be our unique individual selves." that's according to Gloria Steinem. I found Dorothy Butler Gilliam to be candid, with quiet strength, elegance, a visionary leader, and an honored journalist. Dorothy Butler Gilliam's inspirational life story, in her new memoir, which we'll hear her read from in just a moment, is the journey of a daughter of the South who became a pioneering black woman journalist, an influential voice in the pages of The 1961 Washington Post, a national leader of the movement to foster diversity in the news media, and a dedicated mentor of countless aspiring young journalists. It is also the story of her role in a remarkable era of growth and influence of JFK, MLK, civil rights movement, and many other changes, all of which made for Dorothy Butler Gilliam's writing and storytelling, inside a leading American newspaper, now evolving in the digital age.
