This week, we're recognizing the life of mathematician and aerospace engineer, Mary Jackson. She became NASA's first black female engineer in 1958 and helped NASA send the first American to space. After 34 years at #NASA, Jackson had earned the most senior engineering title available. She realized she could not earn further promotions without becoming a supervisor. She accepted a demotion to become a manager of both the Federal Women’s Program in the NASA Office of Equal Opportunity Programs and of the Affirmative Action Program. In this role, she worked to influence both the hiring and promotion of women in NASA's science, engineering and mathematics careers. #WomenInSTEM #BlackHistoryMonth
