A year after a Southwest Airlines flight attendant had a conversation with the CEO of American Airlines that went viral, the two have met again -- at the flight attendant’s wedding.
Last year, just after the death of George Floyd, JacqueRae Hill posted on Facebook about her heartfelt conversation about race with Doug Parker and the post went viral.
Exactly a year after their first meeting, Parker attended Hill’s wedding to Rashard Sullivan.

"Thank you and your family for showing up for so many people but also making time to show up for Me on my special day.
