Rep. Estes' Weekly Highlight for Women's History Month

 

March is Women’s History Month. Every week, U.S. Congressman Ron Estes of Kansas highlights on his Facebook page a Kansas woman in history who has made a difference. On Friday, Mar. 8, Estes recognized Hattie McDaniel who was born in Wichita, Kansas. She became the first African American to win an Oscar for her role in “Gone with the Wind” and became the first black actor to star in an American radio program. McDaniel’s career in radio and film, as well as her historic court battle to end segregation in 1940s Los Angeles, "broke through racial barriers and helped pave the way for future generations of women, African Americans and Kansans."
