Part of her initial research involved comprehending the typical development of African American children, yet surprisingly, no such baseline data existed. She later joined the Howard University School of Medicine faculty as a researcher. Angella Dorothea FergusonĪngella Dorothea Ferguson studied biology at Howard University then went straight into medical school there and studied pediatrics. Air Force’s most instrumental physicists in revolutionizing and reforming deficiencies within the United States’ most intensively invested sector - its military apparatus. Phyllis Bolds prevailed as one of the U.S. The Air Force bestowed her with the Air Force Systems Command Certificate of Merit for her 30 years of service and credited her with the enhancement of the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit “stealth” bomber. Bolds studied how to mitigate the adversarial effects of military aircrafts, aeroacoustic environments, and spectra of helicopter vibration frequencies, and she ultimately debunked the false Helicopter Vibration Test Curve “M,” preventing future helicopter malfunctions. She then began working at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base before climbing the ranks to work on data accumulation for new aircrafts, including the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, Douglas C-133 Cargomaster, and McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. Phyllis Bolds showed great intelligence, talent, and determination from a young age, becoming the inaugural recipient of the Delta Sigma Theta Debutante Scholarship during her time studying physics at Central State College. “Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination never limit others because of your own limited imagination.” - Mae C. Jemison made history as the first African American woman in space. She spent eight days in space, orbiting the Earth 127 times, and conducted experiments on weightlessness and motion sickness. She trained for a year to become a science mission specialist and flew into space on September 12, 1992, aboard the Endeavour (mission STS47). She returned to the United States and was selected as one of 15 candidates from a 2,000 applicant pool to NASA’s astronaut training program, becoming the first African American woman to be admitted. After graduation, she worked as a general practitioner and a Peace Corps medical officer for Sierra Leone and Liberia. Mae Carol Jemison studied chemical engineering and Afro-American studies at Stanford University on a National Achievement Scholarship at age 16, and then, she went on to attend Cornell University Medical College.
