Tamron Hall became the first Black woman to co-anchor the Today show in 2014. Reports state that the day she signed her contract, Hall honored female Black trailblazers who came before her by wearing a jacket that belonged to civil rights activist Lena Horne. Hall has since gone on to have her own syndicated daytime talk show, the Tamron Hall Show, for which she won a Daytime Emmy Award.
