The woman Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) accused of being a racist in an argument over an airplane seat, is purportedly a “celebrated photojournalist” who has worked extensively in documenting human-rights abuse throughout her career.
Jean-Marie Simon, the woman whose first-class seat on United Airlines was given to Jackson Lee, helped document human-rights violations in Guatemala during the 1980s when the country’s military overthrew the government — a period that saw hundreds-of-thousands of Guatemalans disappear or be killed, The Washington Times reported.
