Dr. Mae Jemison’s groundbreaking journey as the first African American woman in space was not a gift—it was the result of years of hard work, intellect, and perseverance.
When she launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992, she didn’t just break barriers—she redefined what is possible.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
