To mark the beginning of Black History Month, we celebrate pioneering physicist Shirley Ann Jackson '68 PhD '73. She was the first black woman to earn a doctorate from MIT and was featured in Ebony magazine in 1974.
A copy of the magazine page featuring Shirley Ann Jackson. There are two black-and-white photos of her. She is in a classroom in one photo and there is a chalkboard behind her. She standing outside of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, IL in the other. The headline reads," Nuclear physicist at Fermi Lab. Young PhD holds her own in  white male-dominated world."
