Best Brains Honors Women in History 🧡📘

Continuing to celebrate yesterday’s International Day of Math, today we honor Katherine Johnson who is best known for her contributions to NASA. Beginning high school at age 10 and college at 15, she always worked diligently graduating with honors at 18. The following year, Katherine began a graduate program at West Virginia University studying math but left before completing it to start a family.

In 1952, Katherine Johnson joined the team at National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (later NASA) working in the West Area Computing unit. Her curiosity, assertiveness, and adept abilities were noticed, and within two weeks she was moved to work in Langley’s flight division research. Some of her biggest accomplishments include calculating the trajectory path of the first American in space, calculating the flight of the first American to orbit Earth, and calculating the trajectories for the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. She worked for NASA for a total of 33 years, retiring in 1986.

Katherine Johnson’s work has made a lasting impact on the world we live in today. In 2017, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor. As Margot Lee Shetterly said to Johnson, “Your work changed our history, and your history has changed our future.”

🧡 Best Brains Honors Black History 💙

Today we honor Bessie Coleman, the first African-American woman to hold a pilot’s license.

Bessie Coleman was born in Texas in 1892. In 1915, Coleman moved to Chicago to live with her brothers. While in Chicago, her interest in aviation was ignited after hearing inspiring stories from World War I pilots. She decided that she too wanted to become a pilot. Coleman applied to numerous flight schools but was rejected because she was both African-American and a woman. Robert Abbott, the owner of the Chicago Defender, suggested that she go to France to learn to fly. Determined to succeed, Coleman began learning French and soon was accepted into a French flight program. After much hard work, Coleman received her pilot’s license in 1921 from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.

Upon returning to the United States, she began performing in airshows to save money for her dream of opening her own flight school. Not only was Bessie Coleman an aviator in the air but also for civil rights, as she refused to perform anywhere that was segregated or discriminated against African Americans. She amazed audiences by flying loop-the-loops and other stunts.

Tragically, Bessie Coleman was killed during a test flight accident when a loose wrench got stuck in the engine. Her influence lives on as her life inspires people to live courageously and to boldly follow their dreams.

Robert Sengstacke Abbott, the founder of one of the most-read Black newspapers in the United States, the Chicago Defender, gave a voice to the Black point of view.

After graduating high school, Abbott attended Hampton Institute to study printing. Continuing his education, he left for Chicago to attend Kent College of Law where he earned his law degree.

Because Abbott experienced difficulty finding work as a lawyer, he turned to journalism and began the Chicago Defender in 1905 giving a voice to the Black community. By the 1920s, the circulation of his weekly newspaper had increased to over 200,000. The newspaper’s success made Abbott an important figure both locally and nationally. He was named to the Chicago Commission of Race Relations which published a landmark article in 1922 concerning African American urban conditions. Not only did the Chicago Defender advance civil rights but also the development of national African American culture by publishing works by Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks.

Abbott’s determination to be his best left the world a better place. “No greater glory, no greater honor, is the lot of man departing than a feeling possessed deep in his heart that the world is a better place for his having lived.”

🧡 Best Brains Honors Black History 💙

Today we honor Ruby Bridges who at the age of 6 bravely advanced the civil rights movement by becoming the first African American student to integrate an elementary school in the south.

Ruby Bridges was born in Mississippi on September 8, 1954, to Abon and Lucille Bridges. Her parents moved to New Orleans, Louisiana two years later in search of better job opportunities. Ruby attended a segregated school for kindergarten but was given and passed an entrance exam allowing some students the opportunity to integrate into all-white schools.

November 14, 1960, was Ruby’s first day at William Frantz Elementary School. Ruby went to school that day escorted by four federal marshals. She spent the day in the principal’s office due to protests and angry parents. On her second day of school, she was introduced to her teacher, Barbra Henry. Ruby was the only student in her class that year and had very little contact with the few students who remained at the school. The following year, the school enrolled more African American students.

Today Ruby is a civil rights activist, author, and speaker. In 1999, she began the Ruby Bridges Foundation to advocate for tolerance and spark change through education. We can all learn from Ruby as she blazed a new trail toward change.

“Don’t follow the path. Go where there is no path and begin the trail. When you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength, and conviction, the only thing that can stop you is you.”
