NOW YOU KNOW
Born and raised in Marshall, Texas Zephyr Wright, was the college-
educated maid and cook who worked for President Lyndon B. Johnson. Amazingly she
also had a role in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
In early 1940, while still in Texas, Ladybird
Johnson was looking for a family cook. Wright came highly recommended. Her
husband Sammy was hired as chauffeur. As a U.S Senator, Johnson asked Wright’s
opinion regarding civil rights for Blacks. She informed him of the discrimination faced on a
drive to Austin, Texas when escorting Ladybird Johnson and the Johnson children:
several hotels refused lodging to her and husband forcing them to sleep in the car;
they were refused service in restaurants so the couple had to eat from brown paper bags and not allowed use of bathrooms. Johnson
left the room.
The Johnsons were very fond of Wright’s southern cooking and as Vice-President, many White House staff and others were
quick to accept an invitation to dinner. After the assassination of President Kennedy,
President Johnson and White House Executive Chef Rene Verdon squabbled over menu choices. The French chef was
instructed to learn from Wright how to prepare the ‘homey’ meals the President
preferred. Verdon resigned. Wright cooked all meals until another executive chef was hired
and continued as President Johnson’s personal chef until he left office in 1969. She
worked for the family for almost 30 years.
Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964. Handing the pen he used to sign the
bill to Wright, he told her she “deserved it more than anyone else.”

The Bail Project—a new non-profit organization is designed to combat mass incarceration by disrupting the money bail system one person at a time. The Bail Project looks to work to reduce the human suffering caused by unaffordable cash bail and building on the work of grassroots groups and movements for decarceration and racial justice. In addition to posting bail, The Bail Project seeks to partner with local advocacy groups, col-lect stories and data from sites and work with universities to measure the socio-economic impacts of unaffordable cash bail with the goal of informing legislative reform. Bail Disruptors are community members committed to racial and economic justice. New bail disruptors are needed to support our growing team on the ground. They first and foremost post bail for those who cannot afford to purchase their freedom. Applicants will need to work non-traditional hours and willing to work independently as well as in collaborative teams, demonstrate an interest and experience in racial and social justice or criminal defense. Have access to a reliable vehicle, excellent organizational abilities, strong decision-making and communication skills, basic ability in Excel and data entry or willingness to learn. Candidates should also be able to handle multiple projects. Interested applicants should submit a resume and cover letter by email to [email protected] with “Bail Disruptor-Spokane” in the subject line. Applications will not be processed without a cover letter.
