Aviation's Jackie Robinson - Air & Space Magazine
Marlon Green wasn't a crusader. Even though he became a civil rights hero of sorts, and was standing at the Lincoln Memorial in August 1963 for Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Green's six-year legal battle to become the first black pilot hired by a major U.S. airline was more personal than political.

"I want to do whatever appeals to me."
