Following a prolonged legal struggle in 1973, Maple became the first African-American woman admitted to the New York camera operators union.[1][2] She described her lawsuits and struggle in a self-published autobiographical book, How to Become a Union Camerawoman (1976). In a 2020 interview, she said, "After I passed the test and got into the cameraman’s union, then they told the studios not to hire me and blacklisted me. I decided, well, I’m going to fight this....I decided, let me get this out the way, I sued them all at once, ABC, CBS, NBC, and I won." CITE NuBlockMuseum.

Working for many years as a news camerawoman, Maple recounts she had her best moment when she realized she could "edit the story in the camera and prevent the editor from taking a positive story and making a negative one out of it," particularly in stories with a race element where black people were often left out of the news story.[3] According to Maple, "I would shoot [the story] in a way where they couldn't cut the black person out of [it]. They had to see both sides of what happened and what they had to say."[3] In 1974 Maple cofounded LJ Films Productions with her husband, Leroy Patton, to produce short documentaries.[4]
