Mazola McKerson
Mazola Mckerson (January 10, 1921 – October 18, 2014) was the first of many things during her lifetime. In 1977 she was elected to the Ardmore City County Commission, making her not only the first African-American, but also the first female to serve on the City Council. Only two years later, Mckerson became the first African-American female mayor of Ardmore, Oklahoma, as well as the first female in the United States to serve as mayor of a city of more than 30,000 people. Mckerson was also the first chairperson of the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women. Aside from her public influence, Mckerson owned and operated The Gourmet Restaurant in Ardmore from 1962 to 1997, the product of her home based catering company that she started in 1946.
==Early life==
Mazola Holman Mckerson was born on January 10, 1921 to parents Daisy Turner and Calvin Holman in Bluff, Oklahoma, a small community located near Hugo, OK. After the early death of her father, Mckerson moved to Ardmore, OK in 1929 with her mother's sister, Pearl May, who raised Mazola as her own daughter. Her aunt was a maid for Marie Smith, part of a wealthy Ardmoreite family. Through helping her aunt wit her chores, Mckerson learned to cook which lead to her later success in the food business.〔
On July 30, 1938 Mckerson married her late husband, Alfred Mckerson, and the couple struggled financially for the first years of their marriage. Soon one of Mckerson's clients, Abby Reisen, daughter of the ''Daily Ardmoreite'' owner John Reisen, convinced her to start a catering business out of her home.
