Michigan’s first black female federal judge, Anna Diggs Taylor, has died at age 84.

Taylor’s death was announced Monday at the Detroit federal courthouse. She died Saturday at an assisted living center in Grosse Pointe Woods following a brief illness.

Taylor was appointed to the federal bench in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. She was chief judge in Michigan’s Eastern District in 1997 and 1998. She retired in 2011.


Maybe first 'black' vs 'female' but I get to combine my two ideas (the Admins won't allow a 'first black' thread....don't ask me, ask them).

Marianne Means, a US political columnist and White House correspondent who was the first female reporter to be assigned full time coverage of the White House, has died aged 83. She was a pioneer for women in journalism and covered the assassination of President John F. Kennedy - as well as apparently being one of his lovers.

Edit: Daily Mail obituary.
