#RebeccaLeeCrumpler, (February 8, 1831 – March 9, 1895) was an African-American physician and author. Becoming a Doctor of Medicine in 1864 after studying at New England Female Medical College, she was the 1st African-American woman to become a physician in the United States. She 1st practiced medicine in Boston, primarily for poor African-American women and children. She graduated medical college and published her book at a time in history when very few African Americans were allowed to attend medical college or publish books. On March 1, 1864, the board of trustees named her a Doctor of Medicine, making her the 1st African-American woman in the United States to earn the degree, and the only African-American woman to graduate from New England Female Medical College. The Rebecca Lee Society, one of the 1st medical societies for African-American women, was named in her honor. #blackphysicians #blackphysician #blackwomeninmedicine #blackdoctorsmatter #blackdoctor #blackdoctors #BlackPioneers #blackandproud✊ #blackhistorybooks #blackhistorystudies #blackhistoryfacts #BlackHistorian #BlackHistoryMatters #BlackLegacy #straightblackpride #blackrevolutionary #BlackRevolution #BlackGenius #BlackIntelligence #BlackWomenDoItBetter #BlackWomenMatter #africanexcellence #africanamericanhistorymonth #africanamericanstudies #AfricanAmericanWomen #AfricanAmericanHistory #AfricanAmericanCommunity #StolenFromAfrica #NubianQueens
“Hidden Figures Way” is the new name for the street outside NASA headquarters in Washington, DC. The street’s name honors three Black women mathematicians who have only recently gained wide recognition for their major role in space travel.
Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson were featured in Margot Lee Shetterly’s 2016 book, “Hidden Figures,” which was then adapted into a movie. During the 1950s, Black women at NASA were separated from their white colleagues despite calculating the same trajectories for missions involving the first Americans in space.
In 2015, former President Barack Obama presented Katherine Johnson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Among her groundbreaking accomplishments is verifying calculations for John Glenn’s historic orbit around Earth in 1962.
Dorothy Vaughan led the “West Area Computers,” a team of Black female mathematicians. Through her expertise in computer programming, she contributed to the Scout Launch Vehicle Program, which launched satellites into orbit.
Mathematician and aerospace engineer Mary Jackson pushed for minority women to become engineers from as NASA.

What do you know about Maya Angelou? We have an elementary school named after her in my community and there’s many more across the country named after her too. The more I learn about her fascinating life, the more I realize how deserved that tribute is. Today the poet, author, singer, actress, teacher and civil rights activist would have been 90. She’s our #WednesdaysWoman.
.
Maya Angelou has an interesting and heartbreaking background. At just seven-years-old she was sexually assaulted by her mother’s boyfriend. After they found out about it, her uncles killed him. Maya felt so guilty she stopped talking completely for five years. During that period, she developed a strong love for reading and poetry. It led her to write 36 books over the course of her lifetime. One of her most famous pieces, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, made literary history as the first nonfiction best-seller by an African-American woman. Her autobiographies have been used to help train teachers how to talk about race in the classroom.
.
She was the “first” for a lot of things. Did you know she was San Francisco’s first female African-American cable car conductor? And one of the first African-American female members in the Directors Guild of America? When she recited a poem at President Bill Clinton’s inauguration ceremony in 1993, she became the first poet to make an inaugural recitation since Robert Frost nearly three decades earlier.
.
Angelou received numerous awards and more than 50 honorary degrees, including being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011.
.
Ten years ago she wrote a book of essays called Letter to My Daughter, dedicated to the daughter she never had, with advice for young women about living a life of meaning.
.
She died in 2014 at her home in North Carolina. If you want to hear her read one of her most famous poems, “Still I Rise,” go check out Google today. They have a tribute to her on their homepage. #TheAmericanMoms #mayaangelou #womeninhistory #poetrymonth

Wealthy, white Republican male lawmakers pushing anti-abortion 'criminalization' laws eventually designed to overturn Roe vs. Wade, a constitutional right protecting a woman's right to choose. Who should have control over women's ♀ bodies, especially OUR brown + black bodies? ✊✊✊ .
