STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Black History Month
During Black History Month we will be exploring a new Black Mathematician every Monday during "Mathematician Monday". This week, we learned about Martha Euphemia Lofton Haynes who was the first black woman to receive her PhD in mathematics.
"Although she is remembered as the first black American woman with a Ph.D in mathematics in 1943, this was only a stepping stone in Martha Haynes’ extraordinary and highly influential career. She played an instrumental role in changing the face of the education system from which the blacks were often segregated or very few in number. For forty-seven years, Haynes taught at Washington DC’s public schools where she was also the first woman to chair the DC School Board. Haynes’ also served as chair at Dunbar High School and District of Columbia Teachers College for their respective mathematics departments. At Miner Teachers College, she went as far as establishing the mathematics department altogether."
