Creased down the middle, otherwise light wear. Four pages, stapled. Color photo of Barbara Jordan with an American flag on the front. The rear panel is a black and white photo of Barbara Jordan being sworn in as Governor for a day in Texas, 1972, making her the first woman Black governor in the history of the United States. A copy of that photo is inserted in the program as a separate, loose document.
Barbara Charline Jordan was born in Houston, Texas in 1936 and died in 1996. She was the first Black woman elected to the Texas Senate. She was a Texas Southern University [Houston] graduate and became the first woman to travel with the TSU debate team. She was elected to Congress, gained fame with her testimony in the Watergate hearings, and delivered the keynote address at the 1976 Democratic Party Convention (first Black woman to do so). In 1979, she became a professor in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
This memorial service program appears to be rather scarce with no copies located through OCLC or in the trade.
