In this video, I discuss the powerful and often overlooked story of Azie Taylor Morton, the first and only African American Treasurer of the United States. Appointed by Jimmy Carter, her signature appeared on U.S. currency, marking a historic milestone in American leadership. Born in segregated Texas and educated at Huston-Tillotson University, she rose from humble beginnings to oversee the U.S. Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The video explores her civil rights activism, her federal service beginning under John F. Kennedy, and her lasting impact on American history. Learn why Azie Taylor Morton’s legacy remains essential to understanding Black history, women’s leadership, and the broader American story.
