Freddye Scarborough Henderson (February 18, 1917– January 19, 2007) was an American business woman and travel agent known for pioneering travel agencies geared towards African-Americans.[1] Henderson was born in Franklinton, Louisiana, on February 18, 1917[2] She earned a B.S. in home economics from Southern University in 1937 and was the first African American to earn a degree in fashion merchandising from New York University in 1950[3] and went on to teach fashion and textiles at Spelman College.[4] She married Jacob R. Henderson in Georgia in 1941. From 1944 to 1950 Henderson owned a dress shop in Atlanta. In 1950, Henderson became a fashion editor for the Associated Negro Press and had a fashion column which was syndicated in many black newspapers in America. From 1957 to 193, Henderson wrote a syndicated weekly column, “Travel by Freddye,” which ran in the Pittsburgh Courier.[4]
In 1955, Henderson and her husband created the Henderson Travel Service located in Atlanta. It was the first African American travel agency in the Southeast[5] and the first fully accredited black travel agency in America.[6] She planned Martin Luther King Jr.’s trip to Oslo to accept his Nobel Peace Prize and accompanied him on the trip.[4]
She died on January 19, 2007, after a lengthy illness and was buried at Atlanta's South-View Cemetery.[7]
