Dr. Tisha Rowe called the experience 'humiliating' and said discrimination was a factor
A Houston doctor says she was discriminated against when she was removed from an American Airlines plane and told to cover up by crew members on a flight from Jamaica last month.
Rowe says she was on board an American flight from Kingston, Jamaica, to Miami on June 30 with her son when the crew removed her from the plane and asked that she cover herself up with a jacket before she could board the plane again. Rowe tweeted that the airline provided her a “mandated blanket” to cover her outfit.
Rowe called the experience “humiliating,” and said that black women’s bodies are “policed” and “over sexualized.” Story continuesAmerican Airlines spokeswoman Shannon Gilson tells TIME in a statement that the company was “concerned about Dr. Rowe’s comments, and reached out to her and our team at the Kingston airport to gather more information about what occurred.”
