Black Historical Figure of the Day: During her 33-year career at NASA, Katherine Johnson earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations essential to the beginning of the Space Shuttle program, and she worked on plans for a mission to Mars.

over 1 year ago, Grizwold

Katherine Johnson (1918-2020) Katherine Johnson was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights. She was known as a "human computer". During her 33-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks. Johnson's work included calculating trajectories, launch windows, and emergency return paths for Project Mercury spaceflights, including those for astronauts Alan Shepard, the first American in space, and John Glenn, the first American in orbit, and rendezvous paths for the Apollo Lunar Module and command module on flights to the Moon. Her calculations were also essential to the beginning of the Space Shuttle program, and she worked on plans for a mission to Mars. Johnson was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and saw her story brought to light through a book and a feature film of the same name Hidden Figures the following year.

Black Historical Figure of the Day: Pauli Murray's legal arguments & interpretation of the Constitution were winning strategies in public school desegregation, women’s workplace rights , & an extension of rights to LGBTQ+ people based on Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

over 1 year ago, Grizwold

Pauli Murray (1910-1985) Pauli Murray lived one of the most remarkable lives of the twentieth century. She became the first African American awarded a J.S.D. (a law doctorate) from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Her degree was based on her dissertation, “Roots of the Racial Crisis: Prologue to Policy.” She was a founder of the National Organization for Women and the first Black person perceived as a woman to be ordained an Episcopal priest. She was part of both the civil rights movement and the feminist movement. Following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Murray published a landmark article in The George Washington Law Review entitled “Jane Crow and the Law: Sex Discrimination and Title VII,” where she explains how certain legal statutes meant to protect the civil rights of African Americans still limited the scope of liberties afforded to women. Pauli Murray’s legal arguments and interpretation of the U.S. Constitution were winning strategies for public school desegregation, women’s rights in the workplace, and an extension of rights to LGBTQ+ people based on Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Black Historical Figure of the Day: Bayard Rustin was an openly gay Civil Rights advocate in the 1950's who began working with MLK Jr as organizer & strategist and advised him on the tactics of civil disobedience. He was the most important yet least known member of the movement.

over 1 year ago, Grizwold

Black History Month: Historical Figure of the Day Bayard Rustin (1912-1987) Bayard Rustin was one of the most important, and yet least known, Civil Rights advocates in the twentieth century. Rustin was openly gay and lived with partner, Walter Naegle, at a time when homosexuality was criminalized throughout the U.S. Rustin met the young civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1950s and began working with King as an organizer and strategist in 1955. He taught King about Gandhi's philosophy of non-violent resistance and advised him on the tactics of civil disobedience. He assisted King with the boycott of segregated buses in Montgomery, Alabama in 1956. Most famously, Rustin was a key figure in the organization of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, at which King delivered his legendary "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28, 1963. As a gay man who had controversial ties to Communism, he was considered too much of a liability to be on the front lines of the movement. Nonetheless, he was considered to be one of the most brilliant minds and served his community tirelessly while pushing for more jobs and better wages.

Black History Month: Historical Figure of the Day: Ann Lowe is considered to be one of America's most influential clothing designers. One of Lowe's most historical pieces of work was the wedding dress Jacqueline Bouvier wore when she married then-senator John F. Kennedy.

Black History Month: Historical Figure of the Day Ann Lowe (1898-1981) Born in Clayton, Alabama, Ann Lowe is considered to be one of America's most influential clothing designers. She was taught to sew at an early age by her mother and grandmother—both skilled dressmakers who created clothing for wealthy white families around the state. Lowe quickly took to collecting fabric scraps, which she used to create flowers fashioned after the ones in her family's garden—patterns that later became a part of her signature designs. Her career took off after she accepted a position as an in-house gown maker in Florida, then completed design school in NYC. Lowe established a shop in Tampa, Florida, where she hired 18 seamstresses. In addition to designs that showed up in Vogue and at Academy Award shows, one of Lowe's most historical pieces of work was the wedding dress Jacqueline Bouvier wore when she married then-senator (later president) John F. Kennedy.

Black History Month: Historical Figure of the Day Audre Lorde (1934-1992) Audre Lorde was a lauded writer and poet known for her radical honesty and fight against racism and sexism. Self-described as a "Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," Lorde wrote often about the intersections of her identities. After earning both a BA from Hunter College and a masters from Columbia University, Lorde spent the 1960s working as a librarian in New York. In the 1970s she worked as a poet-in-residence at Tougaloo College in Mississippi and began publishing poetry collections. The works were informed by the intersections of race, class, and gender, and became increasingly more political. Some of her most famous works are "The Master's Tools Won't Dismantle The Master's House" and "Martha." Lorde passed away in 1992; her first full biography, Warrior Poet, was published by Alexis De Veaux in 2006.

Black History Month: Historical Figure of the Day: Frederick McKinley Jones thought up a system that could keep perishable food cool and fresh while in the car. This idea led to a patent for a vehicular refrigeration system. and changed transportation for perishable items.

over 1 year ago, Grizwold

Black History Month: Historical Figure of the Day Frederick McKinley Jones (1893-1961) Frederick McKinley Jones was orphaned at a young age and raised by his Catholic priest until he dropped out of school at age 11. After a range of odd jobs, he became a janitor in the auto industry, eventually starting work as an auto mechanic teaching himself electronics until he was drafted into WWI. After the war, Jones returned to working on and inventing machines, building a transmitter for his town's new radio system in the process. He also invented a system that overlaid sound and motion pictures. From this, he was hired to develop sound equipment for the movie industry. One day while driving, he thought up the idea of a system that could keep perishable food cool and fresh while in the car. This idea led to a patent (one of an eventual 60-some patents) for a vehicular refrigeration system. Not only did his idea change how we looked at seasonal foods but also the medical industry and transportation of lifesaving supplies such as blood and medicine.
