It's a time to honor the resilience, contributions, and culture of Black Americans, and to reflect on the ongoing journey toward equality and justice. Let's come together to recognize the significance of this day and continue the fight for a more just and inclusive society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #BlackHistory

🌟 Celebrating Women’s History Month 🌟 Gladys West was among a small group of women who did computing for the U.S. military during the early days of the Cold War, including Defense Department work that eventually became the basis for the Global Positioning System(GPS). In the early 1960s, she participated in an award-winning, astronomical study that proved the regularity of Pluto's motion relative to Neptune. From the mid-1970s through the 1980s, West used complex algorithms to account for variations in gravitational, tidal and other forces that distort Earth's shape. She programmed the IBM 7030 computer, also known as Stretch, to deliver increasingly refined calculations for an extremely accurate model of the Earth's shape, optimized for what ultimately became the GPS orbit used by satellites.  Gladys West earned a full scholarship to Virginia State College, a historically Black public university. In 1952, West graduated from the university with a Bachelor of Science degree in math. She went on to earn a graduate degree in math in 1955 just prior to beginning her job with the Navy. "I think that Dr. West is another one of those hidden figures in our military that play a critical role in the advancements that not only affected our ability to fire missiles accurately but also enable everyday life when you pick up your phone and you're trying to find something," said retired Navy Rear Adm. Sinclair Harris. Despite having helped to develop GPS, West told the Atlanta Black Star news website that she still prefers using a paper map when she drives. Among her numerous awards are induction into the Air Force Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame (2018), the Webby Lifetime Achievement Award (2021), the Prince Philip Medal by the UK's Royal Academy of Engineering (2021), and the National Museum of the Surface Navy's Freedom of the Seas Exploration and Innovation Award (2021).

🌟Celebrating Woman's History Month🌟 In United States history, one woman stands alone as the only female recipient of the Medal of Honor: Mary Edwards Walker. Born in 1832 in Oswego, New York, to abolitionist parents, Mary defied societal norms to pursue a medical career. During the Civil War, she volunteered as a surgeon but faced discrimination due to her gender. Undeterred, she served as an unpaid volunteer surgeon at the U.S. Patent Office Hospital in Washington, as the army had no female surgeons. She bravely tended to the wounded, crossing enemy lines and even enduring capture as a spy by Confederate forces. Post-war, Mary continued her advocacy for women's rights, challenging conventions by wearing pants and advocating for suffrage. In 1916, her Medal of Honor was rescinded because she was considered a civilian at the time of her valor, but in 1977, President Jimmy Carter reinstated this prestigious honor, recognizing her enduring legacy. Today, we honor Mary Edwards Walker for her groundbreaking achievements and unwavering commitment to equality and justice. Let her story inspire us to challenge conventions and fight for a better world. Read more here. https://lnkd.in/gqZm87s #WomensHistoryMonth #MaryEdwardsWalker #Trailblazer #MedalofHonorRecipient
