Diane White Clatto (born Dianne Elizabeth Johnson)    1938-2015

 

Dianne Elizabeth Johnson

(was) the daughter

of Milton

and Nettie Johnson

and a descendant

of a Civil War general’s

slave mistress.

 

She was among

the first black students

to enroll at the University

of Missouri at Columbia

and graduated in 1956

with a degree

in psychiatric social work.

 

(...)

 

Twelve years before Al Roker

started as a weather anchor

for a CBS affiliate in Syracuse,

Diane White Clatto made

broadcasting history

in St. Louis.

 

In 1962,

according to

industry colleagues,

she became

the first full-time

black television

weathercaster

in the country.
