Women of color in STEM honored on MLK Day
Astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison delivered the keynote address at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebration honoring women of color in STEM.
One-hundred-year-old Katherine Coleman Johnson, the NASA mathematician whose story was featured in the film Hidden Figures, was honored at the 33rd annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebration hosted by the State of Minnesota Governor’s Council on Jan. 21. Coleman Johnson’s daughters explained that she would have been there to accept her award in person – but January in St. Paul is “kind of cold.”
