Black History 365 | # 194 Mary Wallace

April 13, 2025

This woman, Mary Wallace was the first female bus driver for Chicago Transit Authority, 1974. She remained a bus driver for 33 years before retiring. Not to mention the first black female driver. “Miss Mary E. Wallace, 22, the new driver, said at a press conference yesterday that she likes the blouse and gray and blue colors of the CTA driver’s uniform, but would like it better if the bottom of the pants legs were flared.” …and fly. Shoutout to her!
